I can offer no help other than to say I did this block a few years ago and would never attempt it again. I had to seek help from members of my quilting group in order to get my head around it.
Good luck and please show us the end result.

Same here. Her instructions are very good. Wondering at what point you are having difficulty, we could help you.Originally Posted by mic-pa
Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
I had a bad case of dyslexia doing a card trick. I inevitably sewed the wrong sides together. The next time I try, I'm going to lay the pieces out, and mark on the backs with removable pencil as to which side goes where, just like a sewing pattern.
Jan on our quilt board has the very best way to make this block. She is so good at making the hard -to-make blocks so simple!
Deb Watkins - I woke up today on the right side of dirt. It is a good day.
I just finished this block for the April block of the month using the Generations pattern. It was tricky.
Drawing the pattern on paper and labeling the pattern by fabric and size really helped me.
"What day is it?" asked Pooh
"It's today." squeaked Piglet

Thank you Jan, you're the best!

Thank you Debbie, somehow I missed this tutorial. Now I think I can do this. "Professor Jan" comes through again.lol!
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.

Card Trick an Easy Way - AGAIN!!
I checked out the generations pattern, and think there's a mistake n it. I would go round the twist trying to do the block that way.
I have made a lot of card trick blocks. I use Quilter's Cache and follow the directions - I also, too, mark each cut out piece with a piece of paper with the size of the square. Have never had a problem, and I think they are a lot of fun to make. Good luck to you. Edie.
