This is a pretty square. I think that it would make a lovely center square, mixed in with simple granny squares.

I think it's lovely. I agree it would be nice as a centre, but it would also be nice as one of many. Can't wait to see what someone does with it.

Very pretty. I'm "into" making afghans with squares lately. I'm a bit slow though! LOL! This will make a very nice one.

Krystal, I made another one last night with a full WW yarn and it is just as pretty ...no matter how you make it. I will post some pics when I get some new batteries.

You are a brilliant and innovative designer :
Thank you for letting me test for you. It was neat! (in so many ways )
