Cheri is our Queen Bee for the month of October. She has asked that the Bee make the X and Plus block. Please make it 12.5″ unfinished, and use bright, cheery fabrics from your stash. Ideally, the end of the plus are solids, or read as solids, and the background fabric is a low volume white or off-white color. Cheri has shared two web-links, the first from Gnome Angel, whose fussy-cut examples Cheri loves (and note, you do not have to fussy-cut) which can be found here,  and then also check out this.
