that's a triangle in a square block. You need a tri recs ruler set, not a 60 degree ruler. The set comes with instructions on cutting the pieces from strips, resulting in a square patch on the straight of grain, however, there's no way to avoid a bias seam on the triangle part.
Here's a good video:

You CAN 'snowball' a block section like this, but the shape you use is more like a kite than a true square.
The graphic below, drawn for another project, may give you some ideas of how to do this.
