Inset Triangle?

Inset Triangle?
I've been staring at this quilt for awhile now, trying to figure out how this was done.....How did they sew those inset triangles into the blocks?
I tried to Google Inset triangles, but didn't come up with anything. What else would it be called?
Any help appreciated.
Please go to this link and scroll down to the black and white quilt (After enjoying all the others, of course!)

thanks for that eye-candy! Wow is all I can say. Think if I were doing that black/white I would not inset seams, but instead do some improv piecing with the white (black on white blocks) on the edge, then using several pieces to make up the larger block, just like any quilt. Does that make ANY sense? check out Jean Wells improv piecing info.

I agree with the inverse applique. Start with a square, make a single cut, but don't go all the way across the square. Fold the cut edges to the back, forming a triangular opening. Add a piece of contrasting fabric to the back & applique it in, then cut any excess fabric on the back.

I don't think it can be reverse applique because if you look closely at the detail pic, you can see a seam allowance along one side of the triangle.
Could it be put in like a Y seam, but just two seams? I'll have to try.

Thank you for the link, such amazing quilts!
It appears to me like each block was made with reverse appliqué of the wedges and appliqué of the circles, then the blocks sewn together. That result in a seam allowance on one side.
