Perhaps you arent' happy with the center because it is so dark. It may look like a big hole in your lovely plates from a distance. The size looks good. Maybe you should try a completely different fabric that coordinates with the rest. Or maybe just use a lighter one of the ones you've used for petals. The dark purple center may look just perfect if you put a dark purple sashing between the blocks. What is your background fabric?

I love the Dresden block and the colors are very pretty. I would not have thought the center was too large if you had not mentioned it. I think its a personal preference. If you feel unsure, try a few different sizes until you find what you like. You can't lose---its will be a beautiful block.
