For my turn this month I'd love a scrappy Cross Plus block a la Badskirt Amy, But sized up to a 12" block with measurements provided by canoeridgecreations.
The directions for assembling the block are on Amy Gunson's blogpost :

BUT follow cutting sizes from above photo!!
Fabric choices:
Keep it scrappy!
For the center cross - pinks, reds, oranges, orchids (non pastels please), same fabri for all pieces please
For edge of cross- Medium to dark gray solid or patterned, please use same fabric for all four rectangles
Background triangles - low volume - do not need to be the same fabric on each square
Branches of the X - blues (Aqua, teal, turquoise), greens (lime, citron, pear) nothing too dark (no navy or hunter green) or too pastel
Prefer modern fabrics, no novelty, no juvenile, think bright rainbow !
I stiched some examples of the colors/feel I'm looking for 
Any questions - let me know! Thanks!!

Great choice of blocks! Would you consider View Reels by Cotton & Steel a novelty fabric?
