I can't come up with the pictures either - so sad :( - I need pictures but thank you for posting

I like this. Sure makes it easier than all those triangles. Thanks for the instructions.

Thank You for the great tut It is so easy to understand I have been wanting to make card trick but thought it was too hard I have just the fabric to use for it too

Thanks. This is the one block in my block of the month that I dreaded when I had to do it. I made 2 of them to put in my quilt and just don't care for the traditional directions. :)

Very nice instructions!

Just came across this - how clever and how much easier. Thanks

Great instructions - thank you Jan! They are simple enough for a beginner like me to follow. I will add this to my list.

Thank you for posting this.. Very clear instructions. Have saved this to my to-do file on the computer.

Awesome , I say quilters are genuis', always improving an old block, thanks.

What a delightful change to an old favorite and love how it's set on point! Thank you

It comes thu but takes a little while.

Thanks for the pattern.

liked the tute very much and I have been wanting to make this pattern for a long time and your instructions very easy to follow but I too was missing the pics would love to see those also because I like the visual as well as the written. Wonderful job and thanks for sharing with us.

Give each page time to load on your computer, you will see the pictures then.

Very nice and easy too, thank you

I can't open it up because it is a doc.file I can only open pdf files.
thank you anyways

This thread has just reinforced my feelings that this group of quilters is the greatest. Thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard to make this wonderful tutorial available to all of us who wanted it!!!!!
You are the best!!!!

Pojo, just look through this thread, you will find the tut transposed into pdf so that everyone can download. I think it is either on page 2 or 3.

How many people have made the Card Tricks block using this method? It's one of the easiest ways to do this block.

Jan Thank you! I've downloaded this one :)

I can't get it to open correctly - it opened in Adobe Acrobat - then tells me it is incorrectly coded - what am I doing wrong?

I think the Card Trick block is so neat looking, and this method looks so much less intimidating than other methods I have seen. Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial.

Mine came in fine. Great tutorial. I printed to have in my sewing room as I am going through scraps and hope to get some cut for this.

Thanks for this tutorial, so nice of you to take the time to do this.

Thank you I have been looking at this block you made it look much easier than i thought it would be
thanks for posting

I really needed this during the holidays when I made 49 for a raffle quilt. This really makes it EZ.

It downloaded fine for me. It came up on Word. Thank you soooo much for spending so much of your time to show us how easy this block can be. I am going to make a quilt using this method. I printed out all your great instructions so I'm ready to go as soon as I choose my fabrics. Are you a quilting teacher by any chance? You did such a terrific job explaining this method that it made me think you must teach quilting.

Thanks so much for this quick and easy pattern. I've been wanting to do this block for quite a while and you have made it easy. No triangles!!!!! I have been doing so many projects lately with almost all triangles, I'm sick of them. I always end up over cutting and then trimming them down to the proper size. This is wonderful. Any time there is an easier way to do something I'm all for it. Thanks!

Thanks so much that was sweet of you to share.

Where can I find a picture of the actual block or quilt? I think I could make it following your instructions but I'm one of those friends "okiepastor" was making reference to because I really need a visual. LOL Thanks Okiepastor for thinking of us.

Laurlync, thank you for converting Jan's instructions to a pdf file. i really appeciate your doing so.

Thank you for sharing!!

Wow, thanks so much Jan. This is amaizing! I always loved the card trick pattern and once did a few blocks, but the triangles were so time consuming that I never did do enough of them to create a top. Did you post a pick of your quilt? If you did I missed it in the tread. Again...thanks!

Hi Jan so nice to see you and glad to see the tute. I am going to try my hand at it and see how it comes out, one never knows till they try right? :-). Good to see you!

Here is a sample I have just made for a workshop I will be teaching in Martinsburg WV on April 28. There are spaces still available, would love for YOU to be there!

It loaded & came up perfectly for me... woo hoo! More on the to-do list! I've always wanted to make one of these in Xmas fabrics... Xmas Cards...

Thank you so much for the wonderful instructions with diagrams. The only thing missing was the size of the end triangles and the 4 corner blocks. How large should I cut them? This is a hundred times easier than the pattern I had with half-square and quarter square triangles. I knew the board would come through for me.

Thanks, Jan. I've printed it out and put it in my "Quilt Fun" notebook.

On another project: I'm trying to make a Checkered Dresden from MSQC. I bought the template and watched the video about 5 times. I reached into the stash and picked out a Jelly Roll from Northcott named Opal. I started sewing 4 strips together and my seams are great. But when I measured the 4 piece strip sets, I had anywhere from 7 1/2 inches to 8 inches. I need 8 1/2. So it was then that I heard the voice of my mentor in my head. "All precuts are not cut correctly". Somehow the: measure before you start....was not in my head. I got the roll about 2 years ago from ???? The whole project is just sitting there. Now what? The strips actually measure 2 3/8ths.

I suppose I could rip out all the seams and sew them so that I get 8 1/2. What do you think? Marcia

Thank you so much for the great tutorial. I hope to try it out soon. I love your method. The workshop photo is really pretty!

Thanks Jan,
will see if I can get this to work. I have some other blocks to pair with but i have them at 5" now and a little uncertain if I can make all the changes to get all to fit! .. :/. A newbie ..
