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.

Looking at it, it is hard to see whether you repeated crosses/fabrics?
Or only used one, once?
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.
