This playful pattern of tic-tac-toe-like nine-patch quilt squares is ready for fun and games. The quilt that originally inspired this design had the same repeated colors in each of the squares over and over. But a good friend who saw me laying out the sample squares suggested that the “cards” in each Card Trick square should match the colors
of the nine-patch square they were pointing to. The pattern within a pattern created by this small change really brought the design together.
