Does anyone have the copy of Quilters World August 2007 that originally showed this pattern? I would like to purchase one but QW's website doesn't offer it for sale.
Any help would be appreciated.

I was also wondering if you could separate the fabrics in photo 2 and take another picture or two? From what I see, they are blending together so it's hard to determine exactly which fabrics might work for you.
It looks like all fabrics in photo #3 will work.
In photo #4, the blue/brown paisley will give you some difficulty. I have something similar that I didn't use in the quilt. the paisleys are all facing, or 'traveling' the same direction.

Thanks again. I believe I've enough fabrics to start on some blocks. Did you use the same fabric for many blocks? Especially since some of the fabrics have different patterns and colored stripes. I was going to make my sample block this weekend, but my 11 year old DGD came for a visit and wanted to 1) finish her patriotic wallhanging and 2) make her favorite cookies - Peanut Butter Pinwheels, so you know what activity I did over the weekend! But I will start on my first block since I LOVE your technique. Belles

Love, love your quilts.
I made a "Dazzling Dresden" which is basically made the same way. The results are unbelievably beautiful but so easy.

The pattern is called Winning Hand. I've made two of them and they are much easier than the Card Trick method:

Can you give a brief explanation of how card trick pattern differs from winning hand pattern or technique?[/quote]
The Winning Hand uses components that are squares and rectangles. You make simple 4-patch units for the centers of the blocks.
the Card Trick uses all triangles.
I drew the blocks for you. Look at the pen lines - this shows how the fabric pieces are cut.
