Dancing Squares, by Nancy Mimno

Before the challenge was announced, I had started collecting cloth with squares in the patterns just because I was intrigued by the concept of different squares. Here I'm attempting to juxtapose different colors, patterns and scales.
Square Dance Circles, by Nancy Soyring
Pattern Name: Double Circle of Squares.
Challenge Quilt 24 x 24

I've long wanted to make the circle of squares block and was even happier to find a double circle of squares block on line.The squares are dancing a double ring-around-the rosy, with the grownups on the outside and children on the inside.
