Hive 2 April tutorial - Checker

The 12 inch block to be made for me in  April is one that I also chose when I was part of a different block swap.  With what I receive this month, I should have enough to make quite a nice quilt.
The instructions can be found at:

I have minimal fabric or color instructions.

• The half square triangles can be any color, and can be solid or print.  Pick interesting patterns or textures.  No flowery (girlish) fabric is my only no-no.  I'd like the quilt I make with the blocks to be suitable for either a girl or boy.
• Sashing can be black or dark gray, solid or print.
• Rectangles any neutral fabric.

Thanks for taking part and helping me.  Here are a few I already have with one possible layout choice.
