Card Trick 12" finished block
 

I'm looking for a pattern for a card trick block that does not require a bunch of HST, thus eliminating all the bias edgings? Any suggestions?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]386425[/ATTACH]Here is one that I made. It was easy. I did not cut anything on the bias. I just marked and cut them out. Bias cutting is used mainly for curves so that you have that stretcheyness you need.

Knew I'd seen this somewhere, here it is:

#1Piecemaker---I made the card trick quilt last spring for a friend's grandaughter to take to college. All done in orange and brown prints (her high school colors). I don't have a photo of it; sorry. I used dark brown linen-look print sashnig, 1 1/2" wide between the blocks, and set it all on point. One of the easiest and fastest patterns I've done.

Here's a great tutorial that Rhonda made.

I've used the instructions from Jan in VA.

I made this quilt using Elenor burn's winning hand pattern. Here is a posting of the quilt I made. Search " Card trick/Winning hand ". under Bigsis63 It is pretty easy and does not use HST.
