More Quilt Blocks using half squares and simple squares

There are no layouts for these quilt blocks but if you can see the "blocks"in the quilt block above you should be able to see the half square blocks and simple squares and how they are placed.

You can experiment with color and turning the blocks in differant ways. If you don't have a quilt software program just make some blocks and lay them out and see what they look like if you turn them one way or another. The possibilities are endless. Change the type of block you are using and see what you get. Have fun!
