This block uses three different fabrics,

two design fabrics, Fabric A and Fabric B , and a background fabric, Fabric C

Traditional Piecing Method:

To make this block, use the following templates:

Template A

Template B

Cut the following pieces:

4 Template A in Fabric A

4 Template A in Fabric B

4 Template A in Fabric C

4 Template B in Fabric A

4 Template B in Fabric B

4 Template B in Fabric C

Rotary Cutting Directions:

Cut four right triangles for Template A from Fabric A. Strip width is 4 7/8".

Cut four right triangles for Template A from Fabric B. Strip width is 4 7/8".

Cut four right triangles for Template A from Fabric C. Strip width is 4 7/8".

Cut four quarter triangles for Template B from Fabric A. Strip width is 5 1/4".

Cut four quarter triangles for Template B from Fabric B. Strip width is 5 1/4".

Cut four quarter triangles for Template B from Fabric B. Strip width is 5 1/4".

Piecing the Block:

1. Make two right triangles by piecing two Template B in Fabric A to two Template B in Fabric C.

Speed Piecing Alternative - Follow the directions for quarter triangles using 5 1/4" fabric strips.

2. Make two right triangles by piecing two Template B in Fabric B to two Template B in Fabric C.

Speed Piecing Alternative - Follow the directions for quarter triangles using 5 1/4" fabric strips.

3. Make two right triangles by piecing two Template B in Fabric A to two Template B in Fabric B.

Speed Piecing Alternative - Follow the directions for quarter triangles using 5 1/4" fabric strips.

4. Make two squares by piecing the right triangles formed from Template B in Fabrics A and C to Templates A in Fabric B.

5. Make two squares by piecing the right triangles formed from Template B in Fabrics B and C to Templates A in Fabric A.

6. Make one square by piecing the two right triangles formed from Template B in Fabrics A and B.

7. Make two squares by piecing two Template A in Fabric A to two Template A in Fabric C.

Speed Piecing Alternative - Follow the directions for right triangles using 4 7/8" fabric strips.

8. Make two squares by piecing two Template A in Fabric B to two Template A in Fabric C.

Speed Piecing Alternative - Follow the directions for right triangles using 4 7/8" fabric strips.

9. Make two strips by piecing one square composed of Template A in Fabrics B and C, one square composed of Template A in Fabric B and Template B in Fabrics A and C, and one square composed of Template A in Fabrics A and C.

10. Make one strip by piecing two squares composed of Template A in Fabric A and Template B in Fabrics B and C, and one square composed of Template B in Fabrics A and B.

11. Piece the three strips together to form the finished Card trick block.
