I love afghan blocks with flowers in the center, because they look so cool! This particular block is by Julie Yeager and is a 12” square. The best part is, you can use it to make so many different projects! For instance, blanket, pillow cases, wraps, coasters and so on.
Next, no collection of amazing squares would be complete without some solid ones. Thus, here is one with lovely, rounded corners that you can make with filet crochet.
First, this heart granny square is a very quick and versatile pattern designed by a true crochet genius. Not only can you use it for a range of Valentine's Day projects, it's appropriate year round. Let your imagination run wild and free! Truly, there is no family occasion this wouldn't be appropriate for.
To begin with, the first of our amazing squares is one with a delicate but crisp border. Overall, this wonderful textured piece has 17 rounds and measures 4.5″.
Next, here is proof that you don't have to choose between hearts and flowers while looking for a perfect base for your lovely project. Better still, this heart granny square is not a square at all, but it is heart-shaped and has an inset flower. They look amazing in pastel shades but you can go for something bolder as well.
Next, these lovely amazing squares are a marine-themed, highly textured building block to incorporate into your projects. To summarize, this is a small square, 4″ on a side, which will be great to incorporate into afghans, blankets or other projects. However, the block itself is quite thick and will give a larger project a lovely drape.
Of course, the neat thing about amazing squares is that they're classy and timeless. Moreover, they often combine varying textures and colors, as in here.
Here is another variation of popcorn heart blanket and the squares to make it, also designed by Lisa Hooper. Overall, no words are needed - it's just that gorgeous.
