| Cheatin' At Cards |
My
latest creation features an easy version of the vintage card trick
block. The center is a four patch square, bordered by four squares
and four rectangles. I used 3” squares and 3” x 6” rectangles
in black and white prints, with white squares for the corners. Each
block is set on point and joined with white sashing, then bordered
with black gingham and white triangles.
The
fun part was outline stitching each set of cards with a mock hand
stitch and using a cross stitch pattern in black thread to accent the
corners. White thread quilting finished off this striking 44”
square wall hanging. Who said black and white is boring? Not me!
