What's on the Design Wall in September??

I am making a new small quilt that I will be displaying on the quilt shelf that I made many years ago. The quilt shelf is mounted on our living room wall, and it has the first quilt I ever made hanging from it.  I want to put that one away for awhile and put something fresh up.  After all, we are doing a major 'fresh up' on our house.  There is a cute quick, does-not-have-to-be-perfect quilt design in the book: pretty little mini quilts by Lark Books.
I am using all the same solid fabric on the two corners of each block to keep it simple yet popping!  I just love this large print bird fabric, so I did some math to figure how big my blocks should be to have enough for impact yet keep it small enough for my wall quilt shelf.  I can hardly wait to sew on it some more!

I may need to tweak the arrangement a little.
