I don't think this border is compatible. It's a different style and feeling, and seems to compete too much for my attention. If you want to use a border to make the quilt bigger, how about either using just one of the fabrics in the star or using some delectable mountain blocks to echo the star in all the same fabrics? I think that would expand and emphasize the design. It's beautiful work, so far.

I also like it best without the border, although I do love the border, just not on this piece. But as others have said, it is your wall hanging and you should do what you think you will like best. It is a beautiful star.

Everyone is singing a different tune. I love your purposed border. To me this border encloses the star and keeps the eye from wandering outward. To me you have a real winner. It's beautiful.
