Would you be giving us a different NYB block each time? In other words, will you provide us the patterns each month?
I've made two of these type of quilts with great results......didn't do fancy, but learned that almost any combination using contrasting colors is dynamite! I have used batiks and blenders mostly.....

Mariposa, Linynp, & Patticake Welcome!
So glad you'll be quilting along with us. These patterns are great for stash busting and scrappy. But also look great in a classic two or three colors as shown in the video Beauty Secrets. I have pulled all my batiks (probably 15-20 different pieces) and a few blenders.

SulaBug, your block is great! I just made a decision 
I'm going to finish my Sylvia blocks first before I start this project. I only (or still) have 33 blocks to go. So if you see a block here from me..........LOL kick me in the behind. I hope I can keep my hands off of the batiks I ordered last week so I can use them for the NYB!

Giving this a lot of thought !!!! I have an extra large box of batiks and just can't decide what to do with them. Maybe this is the quilt I should make.
It also coincides with the Pony Club sew along finishing.
If you see blocks from me you will know I am in...

I'm in too.
Ohhhh noooooo. Doing a NYB has been on my bucket list. I have been collecting fabrics for a few years.
I am also collecting reds to do a Double wedding ring.
So there is only one thing to do, which is get started on that bucket list.
