Squicles & Rainbows

DIVE INTO COLOR & DESIGN EXPLORATION WITH THIS FUN BLOCK! 

Block Studies is a series of video courses designed to inspire you to play with color, learn new techniques and reduce the fear of trying something new by working on small quilt studies using a series of step-by-step instructions, a suggested color palette & creative prompts.

Best technique yet. I will be using this idea in a number of my improv projects because I love the inset rather than joining 1/2 and 1/4 circles. Any ideas for adding triangles and squares?
