There’s something so satisfying about working with classic quilt blocks, especially when they come with a twist. The Block Buster Quilt Blocks collection from Keepsake Quilting brings timeless blocks like the Churn Dash, Sawtooth Star, and Clay’s Choice into fresh focus with versatile sizing and easy-to-follow cutting guides.
Whether you’re making a full quilt or just a sampler block, these patterns allow for incredible creativity with color placement and layout.
Each block in this collection comes with cutting charts for 6″, 9″, and 12″ finished sizes, making it simple to incorporate them into any project. What makes these blocks extra special is their compatibility with triangle rulers such as the Fons & Porter Half & Quarter Ruler, which simplifies cutting half- and quarter-square triangles from a single strip width.
This makes the patterns perfect for beginners just learning about value and contrast, and also great for seasoned quilters looking for a quick and polished project.
These blocks are also ideal for mix-and-match quilt tops, scrappy quilts, or creating unique secondary patterns when sewn together without sashing. Whether you’re planning a Civil War-inspired quilt or something vibrant and modern, you’ll find plenty of inspiration in these versatile blocks.
Color and Fabric Tips
When choosing fabrics for the Block Buster Quilt Blocks, value contrast is key. Most blocks call for two or three levels of value (light, medium, dark), and selecting fabrics that clearly differ in tone will help your piecing stand out. You might consider using reproduction prints for a traditional look or bold solids for something more graphic and modern.
For a unified look across multiple blocks, select a fabric palette before you start cutting. You can use a color wheel to create complementary or analogous schemes—cool blues and purples for a calming effect, or warm reds and golds for a cozy feel. If you’re going scrappy, consider using one constant fabric (like a neutral background) to pull everything together.

These blocks work beautifully in samplers, wall hangings, baby quilts, table runners, and more. Try grouping four of the same block together in a larger square to create secondary designs. Or alternate between two blocks across rows for an engaging rhythm in your quilt top.
