Professional Review:
From Art Deco–inspired geometric designs to traditional checkerboard stripes and elaborate motifs, this guide helps crafters rediscover crochet with more than 200 fabulous block patterns. Employing traditional styles and contemporary colors, crocheted blocks inspire crafters to create a dynamic palette of color, pattern, and texture by mixing, matching, and combining. Step-by-step instructions accompany each pattern, along with stunning photographs that encourage crocheters to explore a range of color combinations and coordinates. A directory of blocks is cross-referenced with symbols that describe the techniques used and the degree of difficulty, and each pattern is designed so that finished blocks are the same size when they are worked in yarn of the same weight. A useful refresher course of crochet stitches and techniques is included, as are patterns for edgings and instructions on making fringes to finish off afghans in style.

   Summary: Squares will never be boring again!
I love this book, squares are such a great project being that they are so portable, you can take them practically everywhere. This book has enough designs to make sure you will never be bored crocheting plain ole granny squares again. The designs are beautiful, the patterns easy to follow, the pictures great. Only complaint is there are several errors in the patterns, I found them on the publisher's website and wrote them in the book (as I will never be parting with it). But despite that it's a great book that any crocheter will love.

   Summary: 200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws, and Afghans: Crochet Squares to Mix and Match
This is a great book for many... granny square designs! You'll love it! Many "traditional" designs and lot of more "modern" looking grannies! It's a have to have for your crochet library!

   Summary: Nice, inspiring book!
I'm really glad I ordered this book. It's very inspiring and has lots of lovely squares to mix and play around! It also gives axamples of the same squares made with different colors. What I most like about it is that it doesn't bring "closed projects", but encourages you to create your own - choosing colors and squares combinations.
It just didn't receive 5 stars because there are no diagrams and I prefer following diagrams instead of written instructions...

   Summary: Really different
I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful some of the squares in this book are. As a novice, the patterns seem easy to follow. The sheer number of squares and the fact that most of them are really different from what you see elsewhere, makes me very glad I came across this book.

I think I found a mistake if anyone can confirm: square 92 Victorian Lace. Round 1 begins with CH4 and then DC into the ring, but the rest of the stitches into the ring are TR. I think the first DC is supposed to be a TR.
