All this talk about crocheting 'granny squares' got my mom digging out her old crocheted blankets *grin*. This one she made for my sister and I when we were babies.
Here is a close up of one of the squares with its cute little flower. She stitched each of the leaves around the little flowers after she assembled all of the squares and don't you just love the edging?! It's called the 'popcorn' stitch :)
It's a little yellow with age as it is er, ahem... well let's just say older *grin*, but still in fabulous condition otherwise. It actually has a crocheted backing fashioned into a pocket because it used to have a mini down duvet inside of it and was used for our crib blanket :) I just love treasures like this!
I've had a couple of people ask me how I made my little flower centers in the granny squares from my previous entry and I found a great video tutorial on how to make one that is very similar :) She does a really great job of explaining all of the steps very clearly so I hope that you enjoy watching it and creating some crocheted flowers of your own :)

This is a beautiful blanket, please advise if the flowers are crocheted separatley then sewn on or are they crocheted directly on the square. Are you able to tell me where you got the pattern from. Kind regards Christine

Your baby blanket is absolutely stunning!! She did an excellent job. I'm going to attempt to make one that mimicks this (of course, it won't be nearly as beautiful), but thank you for sharing!
