Card tricks pattern
Does anyone have any idea of how to make the card tricks pattern so that eight overlapping squares appear instead of four? I would like to make a centerpiece for an octagon table.

go on line under card trick and there should be one with only 4 "cards" check this site http://www.quilterscache.com/C/CardTrickBlock.html. also if you can find an Eleanor burns pattern it has a easy way of making this clock. and has only

Are you perhaps thinking of the Star Spin pattern? It is done with 8 striped triangles. [ATTACH=CONFIG]546618[/ATTACH]

Tartan
I like this pattern,do you know where I can find it? |
There are several version of Star Spin on quiltingboard if you use the search bar. I think you can purchase the pattern somewhere but on You Tube there is a good video by Katy Rogers under the title, Strata Star Table Topper Tutorial.

Are you looking for the Strata Star??

Be careful it can come out looking like a swastika.

Mike's Girl, yes it can as I found out when I sewed it together. I just keep a silk plant in the center.:D

I would love to make both the card trick and strata star spin. Just seem to pick another pattern or make one up.
Yours is beautiful Macy. |

The Card Trick is comprised of squares and rectangles, rotated 45°, yet every pattern I find uses triangles, which means more seams - and bias ones at that. Does anyone have an existing pattern using squares and rectangles?

you can do the four card as squares and rectangles, but many are made using pieced blocks, and then you need triangles to get the look of a four sided square. A lot would depend on how your fabric is going to look, I think I may go with three squares . . .
For 8, you can't get around using triangles. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps80a56e82.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps7ff52302.jpg |
Sorry, Cathy, I should have said Card Trick, where the visible part is a square (and a rectangle). That's the pattern I'm looking for - or will have to create.

Macybaby, I love your rainbow cabinet cover. And because it's made with many different colors, it doesn't look like a swastika! :thumbup:
