I finished putting these four card trick blocks together at guild last night!!
The needle busted through my callous mid-way through the meeting and almost said a naughty word but I was able to hold my tongue. Now if only I could find my itsy bitsy teeny weeny sheet of stick on thimble pads. Couldn't they make the sheet a little bit bigger than 1x2"? If I can't find it by this weekend (I've been kind of looking for it for 2+ months) I just might have to hit up one of the not-so-LQSs to buy another sheet. Maybe I'll attach it to a large sheet of paper!

| Can you see that the purple parts form an X and the teal parts form an O? |
My original plan had been to have a purple O and a teal X but when I put it on the design wall it just felt more balanced this way. I should have taken photos of the 2 options but I didn't think of it until now...

Next up? I need to decide on borders...my arch nemesis...
It amuses me that you did your cards EPP where I would tackle them with regular piecing. I have those little thimble pads somewhere's too - don't know where, but I have them.
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER seen a card tricks block made with EPP! Trust you to do it! : )
ReplyDeleteLove the cool color scheme.
Love the colour layout of your card tricks block. I hadn't noticed the "X & O" though.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the back. Very neat....
I love the card trick block! I used it on a small quilt years ago. I should try it again.
ReplyDeletelooks good and such a neat back too. I have irst thimble that has ever worked for me love it
ReplyDeleteOh you poor thing. I hate when that happens. It's like an electric shock. So unexpected and so painful. I am proud of you for not saying the "naughty word". I think you can get your thimble pads on Amazon if you don't want to drive far.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, I'd have NEVER seen the X and the O if you'd not pointed it out!! Good gravy!! :)
