I use any size that works for the quilt size I want to do. I also sometimes make the center patch bigger than the rest, treat it like a cathedrel window and put fussy cut in the middle.

When I sew it together, I start in the center and then sew to the edge. Flip it over, start in the center again and sew to the edge. Saves on pinning. Takes less than 10 minutes too! LOL

I just logged back in,wow I didn't see your blocks earlier. so pretty. I am making this one for a friend for Christmas. She loves brights, so I am making this one with all black centers and brights.
