Joanita used a solid granny square in the middle, added triangles in a contrasting color, a border, and the Reindeer detail. This is a totally different approach to designing a square, yet so effective. Sometimes, you have to think (and create outside the box).

It would be a disservice not to include corner-to-corner squares in this selection. Have a look at these beautiful patterns:
