Small square in progress




and completed!

On my scanner the darker color looks blue, but it is pure purple (Red Heart Amethyst).
I think that an afghan made out of these blocks would look like a quilt. What if you made half the squares with the light color in the center and border, and the other half with the dark color in the center and border; then alternate them when you join the squares. This would also make an awesome "scrap" ghan, blocks of 2 shades of purple, 2 blues, 2 greens, 2 yellows,...oh the possibilities. I think this would make an adorable baby afghan, also.
