I love the pattern card tricks. Another one on my bucket list.
I saved this picture to show how I might would want to quilt a card trick. I am horrible at FMQ but I can make the flowery type of stitch. I find it a lot more forgiving. If each one is different, it looks like you planned it that way.
Another idea....I like the idea of using each card type.... heart, spade, diamond & clubs in the centers of the card tricks blocks.
