To quilters, this block is called the Disappearing 9-Patch. I have altered mine slightly to fit to the size of this A2 card by slicing off a bit from each side. To start, there must be 9 1-inch squares. Those are adhered to a 3-inch square of white card stock. Then, that square is cut into 4 equal squares of 1 1/2" each. Those are turned in such a way to create the design and adhered to another 3" square. That was adhered to a green square and then a red square as frames. And, all of that was adhered to the green card base. All of the papers are from Stampin' Up!. The sentiment was stamped at the bottom to complete the card.
Inspired By IB197 Color Challenge
I was inspired by the greens and reds (the flower arrangement), and the taupes (the table).

Great pattern. I am not a quilter, but I may have to take a closer look at this design. I imagine many different looks are possible, depending on the DSP. Thanks for sharing.
