I have to say that I was drawn to block 7 particularly for the name; an Easter named square for Easter weekend. This is a simple square which is perfect, as the designer says, for advanced beginners and the design allows for super versatility for playing around with the colours you have chosen for your blanket.
You should have a look on the Ravelry Projects for this one if you are looking for some inspiration as there are some really lovely and unique colour combinations! Click on the link in the title below to go straight to the pattern.
This square is available for free (and has been since April 2009) on the Smooth Fox Crochet and Knit Blog

My Version:
Ta dah!! This is my version of this square using my colour palette (I blogged about here). I really liked the cross in a circle design of this square; I always think circles inside a square are fun!
The next block will be open for the public vote again and released on April 15th (or 16th)
Reblogged this on Clovers 4 Ewe and commented:
It’s that time again. Square 7 is up and being added to the crochet along. What colors did you end up going with? Did you change them after you got started? I’ve noticed a few unhappy hookers swapping colors and redoing their squares. I haven’t changed colors because these are what my son picked. I sometimes allow him to decide what color should come next so they end up pretty um… spectacular.
