Unlike many crocheters, I don't really care for granny squares. I find them boring, repetitive, and they require piecing, which is one of my least favorite parts of crochet. They are, however, an excellent way of using scrap yarn.
To help make up for the monotony, I decided to arrange the granny squares into single color tetris blocks and to then arrange the tetris blocks into a geometric shape. It seems to have worked rather well.
That a queen-size bed in the top picture. This blanket, started on a lark, ended up being ~ 5' x 6' and weighs 3 lbs.
After seeing the larger one, a friend of mine asked for a baby blanket version. Having exhausted my supply of a single off-white color large enough for the project, I used my various yarns to create a tetris background for the heart.
This one sold for $125.
