Judy was making card tricks, and posted about how easy they are. All those half- and quarter-square triangles - she has a different definition of easy than I do :) But her post reminded me that I had seen a card trick block made entirely from squares years ago, and I'd always wanted to try it.So, I sat down and whipped up 8 blocks, during the second period of the Canada-US hockey game today. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see the individual pieces of each block. Not a single triangle in the bunch.
Since they look like card tricks, but are made differently, perhaps I should call these "sleight of hand" blocks instead :)
They surely do look like card trick blocks and I can see how they're quite a bit easier to do! Thanks for showing me something new!
ReplyDeleteYeah! and very easy. Great.

I love the 'new' name!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how easy these are. This might be my next scrappy quilt top!! Thanks for showing these. Dar
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to do card trick blocks. The only difference I can see is they don't seem to have the depth that the original one has; however when a block is quilted I don't think that would matter. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I could see this as a stash reduction project with each card trick different fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to do this block out of squares. I really like how it looks.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! They look great!
