Wow, look at this! Not the colors I might choose but the work is fantastic. These are all squares. This photo was posted in Polly Plum's page on Facebook by Sue Harju Bruining . . . must give her credit for her work.
Find Polly's FB page here: pollyplumcrochetpatterns where I find lots of inspiration.
Find Polly's blog at Every Trick on the Hook : EveryTrickOnTheHook.com
I have bought a few of Polly's patterns and grabbed some of the free ones too. I have another blog post about the Polly Plum squares I have made . . . here: crochet-anyone-2-polly-plum
I have been trying to finish up some older projects before I continue on with newer projects. I really need to finish the Jacaranda which is really just a giant granny square (OK, maybe not, but it is a square that is being worked in rounds).
Meanwhile I have looked at blogs I am following and found these great posts.
Granny-square-flair-book-revew (Lila Bjorn Crochet). This book is now on my wish list at Amazon.com. GrannySquareFlair
Geometric-granny-blankets (The Patchwork Heart)
Jen Tyler of Hooks&Tales has lots of lovely squares . I am posting one link here but be sure to check out her Karoo MAL (a paid pattern on Ravelry): Wildflower
Terrazzo ("the guy with a hook" in The Netherlands working on a designer from Iceland's pattern) - he designed the Medina Mosaic (another work in progress) that is in my featured post: The-reykjavic-terrazzo-tablerunner-pattern
What about a diamond shape?
It's All in a Nutshell/Esther has a new CAL (designer Dedri Uys/Look At What I Made) to check out: Ubuntu-CAL
Don't I already have enough to do???
I keep finding books for inspiration and some drool worthy squares. Some I have found through mentions on Facebook or when used in another pattern I found. . . like Crochet Borders or the 200 Crochet Blocks . . . hmm, I seem to be missing a few books.
I used the Crochet Block Bible to practice pattern and graph reading. I started off with the easy ones but I am an impatient person. I jumped into other squares. I should go back to this book to do more. Some are hanging around in my kitchen. Others are just part of my samplers.
Of course there are more than squares . . . I have also been collecting mandala/circles and other motifs.
