Sun Print Plus Quilt

The "Plus Quilts" made of squares, that I have seen on Pinterest (I have 164 pinned.....) have long been fascinating to me.  Beyond simple, each "plus" is 5 squares.  They are distinguished by their layout, not being "blocks" at all, just interlaced plus signs.  This quilt was made on a morning off, with a charm pack named "Sun Prints" that I selected for it's diversity yet having at least 5 prints to most of it's color families.  I added 1 random orangish charm, and about a yard of white polka dot for alternate squares and a top and bottom border to make it a usable lap quilt. It is 401/2 inches wide by 54 inches tall.  The batting is a thin poly, slightly fluffy, but perfect weight for a summery quilt.
