Shades of Blue Carpenter's Star Quilt 2014

It's really beautiful!
And I can imagine how it would look with a pale blue instead of the ivory, and I wouldn't like that either...
However, I can't imagine having the patience to redo the work, that must have taken a lot of courage!

If you know the diagonal length multiply by .707 to find the length of the short sides (i.e. the sides coming off of the right angle).
There's also a chart of fractions to decimals for using to calculate sizes, etc.
1/8" = .125
1/4" = .250
3.8" = .375
1/2" = .50
5/8" = .625
3/4" = .75
7/8" = .875
Hope that helps.

This is a truly beautiful combination. I really like your shams to go with it. I understand about taking something apart and re-doing it. Unless you are pleased a project can become an UFO or a point of disappointment whenever you look at it. But, you did it and made a pleasurable quilt to enjoy.
