About the design.

The Curiosity design is inspired by the great wisdom that can be earned by releasing what we think we know and approaching people, situations, and life more broadly with an open mind.

This pattern combines three foundational quilting techniques - half-square triangles (HSTs), half-rectangle triangles (HRTs), and square-in-a-square (SIAS) units - to create a striking geometric design. Depending on color placements and contrast, quilters can create many different looks with this pattern.
