As a wall hanging it is beautiful as it is.
If you want it to be more like a lap quilt, you would need to remove your two borders. Use your white and make borders with the top and bottom wider than the sides. Then add next border making the top and bottom wider than the sides again. That way you increase length a little at a time. Draw it out on paper and you will see what I mean. You would also add an extra between top and bottom borders to fill in. Just make sure to draw it out first and make sure it looks right.

Try turning it with points vertical and add side triangles to a point-on-point effect. That will make it larger and not so noticably as it would if you added straight borders. Your beautiful carpenter's star will stand out!

I like all of the suggestions so far-wall hanging, table topper. For a bed you could have this block in the middle and place it on point and design blocks, etc around it.
Good luck and keep us posted with pics, please.

Smaller (12" maybe), scrappy stars with the same color borders would work just fine.

You don't say how big it is but if it's big enough how about a bed throw. I have this w/a quilt that isn't big enough to go down the sides. Then you can chose a bedspread to go under it that would compliment it; even a white one would look great.

beautiful ~~~~~~~ Make a wallhanging if it even comes close to co-ordination somewhere in your home.

I would leave it as a wall hanging. If you add too much more on the outside, your center may start looking small.

Looks great as is! Table topper, throw, whatever.

I would use it for a table topper, depending on what size it is... and just leave it the way it is but use a dark binding.
