A 60* line will work IF the 60* line goes right to the point of the corner of the ruler so that you can cut straight up the side of the block you've sewn.
The Olipfa 12.5" square ruler has such markings. Shown here in example, both 60° lines are on the ruler and 1 is placed on the block's diagonal seam.
