    Question Easy Card Trick Pattern

    I have always loved the card trick quilt blocks but I am sure there has to be an easier way to make it than my present directions. I checked out Jenny at MSQ without any luck. I could sure use some help here. Any suggestions?

    Gee, I had forgotten that I had drawn that block out in 2007 in my EQ5. To make it look like the traditional ones, set it on point.

    After the blocks are made, set them "on point" to give the traditional card trick look. I have drawn directions for setting on point, too.

    I have seen an episode of Quilt in a Day with Eleanor Burns where she uses squares and rectangles and even one of her assistants made mini card trick blocks, not my thing, but it was pretty.

    Accuquilt also has one and the instructions. You don't need the dies to get the instructions if they are free. Just either cutter or one die.

    Thank you so much Jan. I knew there had to be a better way to make this quilt. I have saved your instructions.
