This is my number one Hug block favourite!! As someone said later in this
thread, I doubt I would make a whole quilt of CTs but tend to use it as a
challenge for myself to make appropriate hug blocks. (Perhaps, after some
xxxx number, I may have got the pressing direction right, but hug quilt
assemblers probably disagree!!)

It's always a question of whether you go with four suits or only two. But
always a fun thing to play with colours.

Really looking forward to reading everyone's responses.

Cheers for now

FOCUS on DESIGN! This time our topic
is the elegant and simple Card Tricks Block. Most of the patterns use
triangles. Here are a few.

From Marcia Hahn's Quilters Cache:

(MH states that it is a Jeffrey Gutcheon Design.)

From McCall's: http://mccallsquilting.com/qb/pattern_902//index.html

Here is our Louise's lovely version:

While searching for one made with squares and rectangles, I came across
this one: http://members.shaw.ca/kigraham/basic/Cardtrick.html
(Turns out to be from our own Kim!)

What do you like? What is your experience with Card Tricks Blocks and
Quilts? Do you have a favorite variation or color way?
