Another good site to find some free (and for sale) nifty squares, granny and otherwise: This one looks like flowers in the center to me.

http://smoothfoxlover.blogspot.com/search/label/Free%20Patterns

And, I love this U.S. Flag Granny:

http://www.geocities.com/bbcrafty_17/AmericanPrideSquare.html

There are many, many more free (and for sale) granny squares online.  They’re also fairly easy to create on your own.  Just vary your colors to create a square that is unique to you.  Make 12 of them, join them together, and create a one of a kind afghan.  You can’t go wrong with the granny square!
