Card Trick

I made this block for my green and brown quilt. Each day I choose a block pattern and make it. How it will come together will be determined later. I made a card trick block years ago and decided to try Mary Ellen Hopkins "cheating" at card tricks method. You make the block on
point using only squares and rectangles and adding the triangles for the background around the outside. Tip your head and you'll see them. I didn't see much differenece in the difficulty making it this way. I needed to lay it out and pay attention to what I was doing. Anyway, I have always liked this block.  Posted by Picasa

I like the colors and how you have them laid out in the block.

Beautiful colours. Batik fabric is always fun to work with.

Thanks for the idea of doing card trick on point! I don't mind doing it "regularily" but it is a good reminder to "think outside the box" for an easier way :-)

I have never done a card trick, but I do like the block. Your quilt is going to be so nice.
