I have struggled with this pattern of and on over a few years. Decided to tackle it and get It done.
Finally figured out all of the piecing, and blocks came out ok. Made a smaller layout than originally planned and it’s 55”x55”’ish. I assembled the top today, then took a photo....ahhh. Should have taken the pic prior to stitching! I am NOT unstitching this to fix the 3 stars centers. Time to end this battle! I will use this as a tablecloth on our round table.
I would like to add a scalloped border-a first for me.
Questions..
Should I just add white borders or should I use a narrow colored stop border first?
How wide should my borders be?

It looks terrific to me! I like the idea of a 'stop' border, maybe 1.5", plus a 3.5' to 4" border. Can't wait to see it finished.

It's a beautiful quilt! You've done a great job with it!

I would add a white sashing (that's the same width as the sashing between the blocks), before adding a stop border.

I agree with this

It’s beautiful! This is your version of the pattern and it doesn’t need to be the same as anyone else’s.

Ooh, this is pretty! I love the pattern and am glad you persevered. Gotta say, I don't see what center stars you have to fix. I looked after you pointed it out, and still come up blank.

Agree with others who say a narrow stop border and then a wider border.

No, not OK! Much better than OK, they're beautiful! It will be a striking tablecloth.

It's beautiful. I don't see a thing wrong with it.

I agree, small white sashing followed by a narrow stop border and a slightly larger outer border. It's gorgeous!
