Beautiful quilt. I just love admiring every plus sign quilt posted because of all the work involved in keeping everything arranged. Myself, I would go "bugnuts" trying to make one, so I will just continue to admired yours.

I tried not to repeat any more than 5 squares of any fabric, so sometimes there is part of a plus sign on an edge and the remaining squares are on another edge.

This was actually an exercise for me in not being so controlling. I would grab random fabrics and throw them up in the plus sign quickly until I had five or so rows. Then I would stand back and try to make sure I didn't have same colors touching, and adjust lights and darks. I usually let quilts sit on my design board over night and look at them again in the morning, but I didn't let myself do that here. Made it much more random and less stress.

With that in mind, it also means that you have been very prolific with your other quilt results!!!
