Beyond the Square: Motif # 104
Notes:
This must be the smallest of all squares. It's a pretty one with those popcorn stitches!

Beyond the Square: Motif # 103
Notes:
Ten more motifs to go, and today's time for another square. The corners are made with dc-3-togs, and the motif is similar to # 100 that I've posted last week - only this time it's a diagonal cross.

Beyond the Square: Motif # 100
Notes:
A square with a cross. In the book, the motif is one-colored red, but I've worked the first round with white. This way it looks like a square with a cross with a flower :)

Beyond the Square: Motif # 91
Notes:
This one is similar to Motif # 90 that I've posted a while ago, only that the sc's are worked in BLO (back loops only). And again I had the same problem: it's supposed to look like like a spiral (because you don't join rounds), but it instead it looks kind of untidy.

Beyond the Square: Motif # 119
Notes:
This one was interesting to make. You have to work trebles and ch-4's to create this diagonal checkerboard pattern. Nice to know, could come in handy one day!

Beyond the Square: Motif # 107
Notes:
A simple and beautiful square with lots of dc-3-togs and a border of sc's. I kinda like the rounded corners. Oh, and the colors. :)

Beyond the Square: Motif # 95
Notes:
A simple square, made with trebles and chain-spaces. I admit it: if it hadn't been for the 144, I probably never would have made it.

Beyond the Square: Motif # 94
Notes:
I remember that I had already made this one very early in this Challenge, because I liked the shape of this motif. However, I didn't like the colors of my first try at all, that's why I haven't posted it. Now I've made another one using different colors, and it turned out quite pretty - so time to share it here! :)

Beyond the Square: Motif # 110
Notes:
This beautiful square is made with lots of front-post dc's. With the yellow and white it looks bright and cheerful, don't you think?

Beyond the Square: Motif # 120
Notes:
It was hard to pick a motif for this special occasion - my 100th motif! I've chosen this one, because it's truely unique! You have to make ten separate strips and arrange them in a way that they form a basket weave pattern. Then you work two rounds of sc's for the edging to keep the strips in place. It looks amazing, but it was quite an effort to make it (imagine all the loose ends you have to weave in for this little square!) - I'll probably never try this one again :)
And now - it's time to celebrate!!! :)

Beyond the Square: Motif # 112
Motif # 112
Notes:
This is a basic granny square pattern with an interesting way of combining two different colors. You have to turn the motif after each round, working back and forth, to achieve this effect. I'm glad that I've learned this basic how-to, and I think you could design amazing blankets, playing with the arrangement of the squares!

90% of the Challenge accomplished, that means only 10 more motifs to go! This here's a simple dc-ch2 square with a nice picot-edging.

Beyond the Square: Motif # 97
Motif # 97
Notes:
So, here's what you can do with Motif # 96 (the mesh), that I've posted a few days ago. The center reminds me a little bit of wiggly crochet, although the stitches are not so dense. I'm not sure if those dc's - which are worked onto the mesh later - are supposed to stand up, but on the picture in the book they do. However, I like it better when the stitches lie flat, like you see it in my version of the motif.

Notes:
This is a basic mesh square, not a "motif" per se - however, I think it would look lovely in an afghan together with more elaborate squares. This way the blanket wouldn't look too overwhelming. This motif is also the foundation for the next motif, # 97, that you'll find here soon.

Notes:
In the beginning, I had no intention whatsoever to make this square, I think I never looked at it twice - then, in March, I've seen Linda's pretty version of that square on her blog and I immediately fell in love with it. It's so amazing how the use of different colors can change the look of a motif completely!

Beyond the Square: Motif # 105
Motif # 105
Notes:
Lots and lots of dc3togs. They always remind me of little leaves, so I've made this round green. I like this color combination and I think I've used it before and will definitely use it in the future! By the way: 70% of the Challenge is accomplished now, we're getting there... :)
