Card Trick Quilt Yardage

That said, if you make it as you described, you will still come up with an interesting design. Depending on color choice, you might see different things...

I agree that Eleanor Burns makes all patterns easier to do. But it sure seems her directions call for a much longer quilt than I'm used to. I made a twin size Trip Around the World from her book & it was 102 inches long! But I was still pretty new at quilt making so didn't figure out how to make a TAtW shorter than that.

The measurements I gave for the card trick was for a queen size.
I the book I have she beaks down all her measurements in baby, lap, twin, long twin, full and so on.
I've always had good luck with her books.
