Granny Square, Granny Square, Granny Square!

About a week ago I decided I need to start coming up with more original patterns for my works and this granny square is the end result. Its fairly simple and basically just consists of shells and v-stitches.

The pink and blue one was the first square I made and the other is the second square I made.

 I was surprised how easy it was to come up with a square of my own once you get the hang of where to make your corners. I hope to make a blanket with my new square soon :) Wish me luck! I will definitely update again with my progress on the blanket.
