2015 - April Block of the Month - Directions & Discussion

What's a better way to celebrate April Fools' Day than to play a Card Trick?

This block looks scary. I hope I can pull it off. I had trouble with the maple leaf.

What a wonderful block selection for April. Card Trick always plays well with other blocks if you use small print fabric.

I really like this block. They show a blue & white variation at bottom of page & it's really an eye catcher.

11 pages of directions scared me off. I think I'll substitute something simpler for this one. Sorry I'm such a scaredy cat.

Tkhooper, if you'll go to the photos for BOM April, you'll find Patrice has added a fie with templates to keep the "cards" in 1 piece. If you'll print the layout sheet for placement it's really not hard to put together. I didn't see a pattern with that many pages but that would scare most of us off!
