Card Trick One

After getting two substantial quilts out this year, I've decided it's time to work on some small projects.  First up is a pair of pot holders.

I have never worked with quarter square triangles and I don't even have much experience sewing with pre-cut triangles so I was a bit nervous how this was going to come out.

But now I have the first one sewn up and am loving how it looks.  However, I wasn't feeling up to trying to match any more points after the first one, so the second card trick is still waiting for it's turn!

The first of two card tricks.

  1. Lovely block! I have been planning to try this pattern for quite a while, so I am hoping to find an excuse soon (probably after the holidays ;) ).

  2. great job. Like anything, do a few of these and you'll feel comfortable with the triangles. It's just bias to be careful with, and you did a good job!! There are ways to do easy multiple quarter square triangle blocks by the way without cutting individual ones. That's how I do it.

  8. Lovely colors, they give this block a great look. My experience: the next block points are better and so much quicker. Goodluck.
