What's on the Design Wall in December?

I saw this cool looking quilt somewhere.  It was a simple design of crosses in squares.  I decided I wanted to make one, especially since I have so many lovely fabrics to mix and match with.  I tried to use a nice combination of small prints, large prints, and solids.  It has been a lot of fun messing around with all these colors.

This is the entire bunch of blocks on the design wall.  They have not been sewed together.  I want them to look random and scrappy, so I think I will just stick with this layout.  My eye is happy.   I like them this way so much, I almost don't want to square them up to a bit smaller size, but I have my trusty square ruler already to trim them down to size.  After I trim them down, I will sew them together in rows, then sew the rows to each other.  I am not going to put a border on this one.  It will be perfect without borders.  This is Kirsten, showing you my latest work in progress.
