Ok Pam I am understanding.. she is just going to fold it back up until I get there.... sometimes 2 brains is better than one... well in this case our husbands say we have 1 brain between the 2 of us .. but who listens to THEM anyway!
Thanks for all the advice...

There is a book called "the border workbook" that has patterns for pieced borders that you could use to lengthen the top and bottom evenly and compliment your star. I would start with a narrow yellow or white border, then a couple pieced borders and end with a thicker border to tie it all together. Your quilt is beautiful, I hope to try one of these patterns someday!

First, I love the treatment of the Texas(radiant?) star pattern and the colors your picked.
I would audition the white border and make sure it doesn't detract from the white already in the quilt before cutting any fabric...
Another idea might be to finish the on-point pieced squares you have at the top and bottom (you could throw some interesting quilting motif in the solid yellow that would come out of that), and then do a diamond-in-square border to finish out the row. (If I were at home, I'd throw this into EQ6 and show you what I mean, but I'm at work on my lunch break)
