You are right! Adding those center squares really do add to your quilt! I really love quilts with all different bright and fun prints. They are my absolute favorite....and yours fits right in :) Its going to be fabulous when finished!!

This is a really fast way to make a quilt and it was boring to me without the center squares. Now that I got this far, I decided I'll make an additional 7 blocks to make it wider. Then I'll add a 6 inch border and hope it will cover my son's feet (over 6 ft tall)!! Hope you enjoy my kicked-up cobblestones quilt!! JFYI, I cut 5.5" squares and 2.5" strips for this one! Also, it's a good way to use up those really large florals! ;-)
