It might look more interesting if you made two rows of squares and put one on each side - backing-squares-backing-squares-backing

Of just offset them to one side. wide section-squares-narrow section

Some of the more interesting backs are pieced.

I am, however, "fussy" about having it be flat and pressing it before using it.
