Card trick question
I really love the card trick pattern...but...as you seasoned quilters know, it it tricky. What advice can you give a really, really, REALLY new quilter on how to choose colors to keep it from looking like a swastika? Is it best to use low contrast, monochromatic colors, or busy, busy pattern fabrics with a busy background? What do y'all think? Also any links to pics would be appreciated.

when you get to quilterscache go to the white box labeled 'where do you want to go today'... and choose the line that says Quilt Blocks Galore--Free Quilt Block Patterns... then choose the beginning of the alphabet for Card Trick and check it out... bookmark the front page as you will use this many ways in the future...
