SO, I mentioned other shapes of building blocks? Indeed, here is an African flower blanket based on the African flower hexagon. Down the rabbit hole? Indeed, yes, but it's honecombs and flowers all the way.
The full tutorial about this pattern you will find on Heidi Bears Creative blog:

Building Blocks Baby Blanket
The Building Blocks Baby Blanket is a perfect pattern for playing with color! Use Loops and Threads Colorwheel yarn or your favorite worsted weight yarn to mix and match as many colors as you'd like. This fun play on a classic granny square is called the block stitch, and I have a right and left handed video tutorial to get you started along with the free crochet pattern. This pattern requires at least 450 yards of worsted weight yarn (approx. 90 yards of 5 colors recommended) and an I/5.5mm crochet hook.
African Flower Blanket
Based on African flower square, this blanket is without a doubt one of the nicest, and at the same time simplest African flower patterns. Overall, it can be described as African flower meets granny squares, and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
