Since it's for your son, I'll say...what a handsome quilt...even though I think it's really pretty. :)

That is really very good looking. Makes me wish for cold weather - very cuddly quilt.

The X's are stitched before you sew the blocks together. They are what holds it together while you put the blocks together. When the blocks are all sewn together, you have finished the quilt except for clipping so it will rag. Does this make sense?

Edited to add: Consider this a Quilt-as-you-go quilt.

As I was making my first rags quilts that were supposed to be presents, I ended up getting more fabric cuz I fell in love with one that I had to keep for myself. It keeps me nice and toasty while watching tv.

I agree that a hard part was finding homespun I liked.

Great job!!
