Hearts and Love Granny Square
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.
