The granny square makes a comeback in Yahoo Homes’ Flickr group

Is it possible to rehabilitate the granny square? We've had our doubts, but this cheerful scene from Yahoo Homes' Flickr group by Anja, aka zeilensprung68, has us reconsidering. We especially like how the squares echo the drawers of the little cabinet sitting on top of the secretary. And the black notes ground the scene, keeping it from getting too garish.

What do you think? Did Anja pull it off?

We'd love to see ways you've reused old styles to good effect, too. Just click here to submit your photos to Yahoo Homes' Flickr group. We might even feature them here on our blog, Spaces!
