Super Card Trick FREE Block Pattern!

When I joined the 4 x 5 Modern Quilt Bee I wanted to find a new block that had not been used much before. I'm always on the search for fun new patterns. I went back to an old pattern booklet I have called "Best of Blocks from Quilter's Newsletter Magazine." The blocks are all made using templates. I tried to make one of the blocks once and it had like hundreds of templates and it was a disaster! But I thought it would check it out again anyway.

I found the pattern for this block and thought it was kind of cool. A lot like the Card Trick block, but with more "cards". I decided I would convert it to a paper piecing pattern so that it could be more precise.

It took a little bit of troubleshooting, but I figured it out and I wanted to share it with you. I call it Super Card Trick and you can download a PDF copy of the pattern HERE! 

I have not included basic paper piecing directions. But you can find them on the web. This is a great one by Faith at Fresh Lemons.

So here are the blocks I made for my little Bee Hive #8. This member wanted pinks & purples.

This member wanted all shades of purple and gray.

 

 This member requested turquoise, yellow-orange and gray.

 This one black, grey, white and a pop of mint green!

 

 It's so fun to see them all together!

Here is the one I made for myself. It might just be my favorite! I thihk I have fallen in love with the colors I have chosen.

Here are all the blocks I received, don't they look awesome? A couple more rounds of this bee and I'll have enough for a quilt!

 If you decide to try the Super Card Trick block, I would love to see it! Post it in my Craft Sew Create Flickr group. Happy Quilting!
