Yes, I used a few of the fabrics several times - different starting points for cutting the triangles.

[q]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. [/q]

I drew the blocks for you. Look at the pen lines - this shows how the fabric pieces are cut.[/quote]

ahh, now I see. Thank you so much!

I am so glad you drew these out. I thought they were the same. Now I know. I bought the card trick pattern and wondered what the difference is. If I hold the card tricks pattern printed out on paper up to the light and also the other one but turning the paper over they are the same but turned the way it is printed out it is just reversed. Thank you for showing the difference.

Do we mind?: Heck no - we love all the input our little minds can absorb. Even input that we can't absorb! Love all the help and ideas.

I am hoping that I will be able to make this beautiful quilt. I am going to start looking for border prints and stripes. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial!
