I think that what ever size block you use, if you want a larger center, just don't go over 1/2 (minus your seam allowance) the measuement of the other 4 blocks. It can be made any size.

Here are some pics of what I made with 3 1/2 inch squares These blocks ended up being 6 1/2 inches unfinished and they went together quickly. Any size can be used for this block

Here's the beginning of mine with two different size blocks - the smaller are made with 5" squares, the larger are 9.5". I have really enjoyed making them, more so than any other quilt block (not that I have tried many). I usually get bored easily, but this has kept my attention.
I have more fabrics to add so this is just laid out really quick to get a feel for it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]129048[/ATTACH] |

I'm trying to add a picture, hope it works.
This is my trial of this block. It is not backed or quilted yet. |
