Looks great! I've always intended to try that pattern.

I love it! I've never tried one of these. Yours is beautiful!

Thank you everyone! I'm thinking of bordering in black and using that as the color to put together a granny square blanket. I did it watching a youtube video. It was super fun.

I think either black or midnight blue would make a beautiful background.

I didn't think about a midnight blue! Good idea.

Oh yes, I discovered a few years ago that midnight blue makes a wonderful background for multi color squares, multi color striped items, and pieces you want to decorate with flowers.

 

Another great background color is dark forest green. It's not as easy as it had been to find before the current greens became popular, but eventually the popular colors change and what we're looking for comes back around again.

Good discovery! I never would have thought to use midnight blue. Green is one of my favorite colors and I was thinking about a green but the correct shade of green is a problem. It would have to be a darker blackish forest green like you mentioned. I think I'll bring the square with me to the store and try it up against some different shades and colors.

Your swirly square is great. I'd do the same and take a few to the yarn store to match up. Have fun.
