I agree that you do loose some of the stars, but I really love the effect!! The white border would be great.

I love pink, but I can hardly see the stars when I look at your blocks.
Sorry to say it, but these blocks are very busy. With all of the patterns in the fabric, it's difficult to pick out the quilt block pattern. Really pretty colors though.
I think it's great for a pink loving person. The white border sounds like a good idea. I'd do simple quilting, like a meander, for the pink and something different, like feathers or something circley, in the white border.

The problem you're having is that there isn't enough contrast between the colors in the background and the pinwheel section. You would have been better off using the darkest pink in the print, it would have seemed less 'busy' to you, I believe. Then if you also used some white within the body of the quilt and made this print a larger border, it could change the whole appearance of the top.

Maybe you could just stitch in the ditch to outline the stars. That way the quilting wouldn't add more busyness and it might make the stars stand out more. I love the fabrics you used. I've been wanting to try that pattern.
Let peace begin with me and you.
What Jan said. The star gets lost without more contrast between it and the background. You need a third color and white would be great. Your fabrics are lovely!
It is a pretty quilt. To emphasize the stars I would take white thread and a decorative stitch on my sewing machine maybe something that is lacy looking and stitch around the stars to make them pop more. This could be done as part of the quilting.
ah, i like it, i think it is pretty.
