As much fun as a magic show, but these card tricks are in fabric! The illusion of overlapping cards can be easily achieved, but looks quite spectacular.

Using four "card" fabrics and a background, you will learn how to make an easier version of this classic quilt block that looks like four cards overlapping each other. Bring a half meter of four contrasting fabrics (avoid fabrics that blend into each other) and 1-1/2 meters of background fabric. Determine your finished size by adding sashing and borders.
