\"Card<\/a>
Card Trick AKA Go Your Own Way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finally finished block 5, Card Trick, or, as the Patchwork Palooza people call it, Go Your Own Way. I don’t like this block. I always have trouble making it, which seems very odd to me. It shouldn’t be a difficult block, but for me, it is. Apparently, it didn’t like me either as there was a lot of ripping involved in finishing it.<\/p>\n

In Barbara Brackman\u2019s Encyclopedia of Quilt Patterns<\/a>**, this block, #1674, is called Crow’s Nest or Card Trick. Both names are from Beth and Jeff Gutcheon. In the Encyclopedia it is colored very strangely, so you can see the card effect. It looks more like an Ohio Star, but with half QSTs instead of regular QSTs.<\/p>\n

In Jinny Beyer\u2019s The Quilter\u2019s Album of Patchwork Patterns<\/a>, this block is #143 and also called Card Trick, but doesn’t have the QST in the center. It is listed as from The Perfect Patchwork Primer by Beth and Jeff Gutcheon. <\/p>\n
