The first one I made introduced me to two colour traditional Granny Squares. You can find a great tutorial video on how to make these at the Crochet Crowd http://thecrochetcrowd.com/two-toned-granny-square/
The last row of the border I also found on Pinterest which linked me to a blog called Bunny Mummy.
This is Bunny Mummy's Double V Edging. I think it gives a finish to the edge without being distracting from the border itself or just abrutly finishing on the last row of three clusters.
The next quilt idea I crocheted is this one. However, I chose to do just six hearts. Which turned out to be a nice size for a single bed.
This blanket also turned out to be excellent for using up little bits of left over yarn.

I am now searching for more ideas to turn the good old Granny Square into interesting patterns and blankets from quilting, cross stitch and Hamma Bead patterns.
