1. Tulip Granny Square
This design by Gabriella is truly unique, because it features a simplified flower motif in a very unusual way! It’s worked in the round, but it creates both the petals and the leaves in one round. So clever! You can join these squares to make a spring-inspired bedspread or cushion.

2. Baroque Triumph Floral Square
Abstract florals appear in art throughout the ages, and going back to these motifs is always a good idea. Raffaella decided to go for structural squares that can be a starting point to bigger projects, such as throws or bedspreads. As you can see, such intricate designs look great both in monochrome and in many colors.
