Jan on our quilt board has the very best way to make this block. She is so good at making the hard -to-make blocks so simple!

I can offer no help other than to say I did this block a few years ago and would never attempt it again. I had to seek help from members of my quilting group in order to get my head around it.

Good luck and please show us the end result.

I just finished this block for the April block of the month using the Generations pattern. It was tricky.
Drawing the pattern on paper and labeling the pattern by fabric and size really helped me.

I checked out the generations pattern, and think there's a mistake n it. I would go round the twist trying to do the block that way.

I have made a lot of card trick blocks. I use Quilter's Cache and follow the directions - I also, too, mark each cut out piece with a piece of paper with the size of the square. Have never had a problem, and I think they are a lot of fun to make. Good luck to you. Edie.

Same here. Her instructions are very good. Wondering at what point you are having difficulty, we could help you.

Patrice added a PDF & attached that to the instructions & even though it had Y seams her instructions were easy to follow & it came together nicely. You can see the blocks that people made on the BOM photos for April.
