I'm torn. I like the sparkle of the buttons,but I agree with PaperPrincess - the style of the buttons doesn't work with the elegant feel of the rest of the quilt. I also don't like that they hide your perfectly matched points. Maybe if you want that little bit of sparkly, get dark red shank-style pearl buttons, and put them in the middle of the background squares? Then they don't hide your beautiful work. Or switch to a more elegant button at the intersections. If you go with buttons at the intersections, I do like how the colour of the current ones matches the cream fabric, and would stick with that colour.
