Card Trick
I never could win at playing cards, not even the kids' games! I just smiled as I held a zillion cards in my hand as someone banged their last card down on the table and won. Big sigh.
But, I sure can sew Card Tricks. That's the name of the block today and about 20 years ago I simplified the piecing from a lot of triangles to squares and rectangles.
Here is the block with those triangles from my 2007 perpetual calendar. Isn't this a fun way that Patricia Bryant staged this?

Here is one made by someone who purchased my No Tricky Card Trick pattern. As you can see, there are not a lot of triangles. This is the way the calendar block appears.

Here's a quilt I made several years ago using my larger block (12-3/4") It was fun to dig into my Kaffe Fassett scrap piles. If you look at this another way, you can see several hearts, can't you?

The calendar block is 9" (the publishers didn't want a weird 12-3/4" block in there). But, if all your blocks are 12-3/4" it doesn't matter, does it?
This is the prettiest car trick quilt I’ve seen it’s beautiful. I love this pattern and I always wanted to make it and I finally just started doing it but I mean literally just started to have one block finished and a couple more cut out, but I was doing it where you have two colors instead of four I heard the four was more difficult so I started with easy so yours intrigued me as they’re beautiful and it says not so tricky which is what I need. This one right here above pictured is the prettiest I’ve seen just gorgeous beautiful colors quilting and it’s still captures the pattern without having totally contrast and colors used which is great. It’s beautiful and I agree. I always see hearts when I see that pattern too. I love hearts great job. Thanks for the info. I’m going to try this pattern. I just don’t know where to get it. It might be linked here, but not so tricky one
