7 x 7 filled with odd integers
We want to fill a 7 x 7 grid with the numbers 1 to 29, one digit per square.
We start somewhere on the grid with 1 and successively place the integers 2, 3, 4, ...until 29.
At each step a number must "touch" the existing structure at least by an edge.
The "touching" number we place will thus form with the existing digits at least one new integer.
All such new integers must be odd.
No "isolated" even integer can be visible on the grid.

We form 21 with 2 – and 21 is odd (don't mind the colors)
[we don't read vertically the digit 2 as an even "new integer"]

The grid below is completed – and here are the questions:
can you fill such a 7 x 7 grid that starts with 1 in the exact middle ?
