Not sure if this is what you are looking for but there is an ebook available by Rhonda here on the Board. Someone may have already posted the link but here it is again: http://www.quiltedparadise.com/n/977-owz.jsp
Congratulations to your son! My step son was going to get married in October (thought that would be enough time to get a quilt done but they moved but their plans to July because he may get deployed (for the third time). Don't think I'll get it done in time :-(

I saw the picture before I saw your next post, and I immediately thought the same thing - Lone Star center with Trip around the World borders, and a smaler 8-point star at the top.
If you go about it that way, seems like it should work. Good luck, and good for you not waiting till the last minute to start your project ( like I do most of the time:) )

I'd think the easiest way to make a bigger quilt is simply to add more borders, if you already have a pattern. You might add a couple small inner borders---------or simply make the outer borders a few inches wider.

I need a little help. My son is getting married in a year or so, and, of course, I want to make him and his fiance a very special quilt. I made my daughter a double wedding ring star, which turned out simply gorgeous. I'm thinking of making Matt the Boston Lone Star, which turns out to be a combination of a Boston Common block and Lone Star. My problem? How do I (a) find a pattern for a king size? or (b) develop my own pattern? And, then, how do I determine how much fabric? I'm one to find a pattern and follow directions, but this one looks so very, very special, I just have to make it. Any advise or help?
