I am making a Carpenter Star lap quilt. The center is 48" square and then I'm using a braided border. The picture I found online that is my model has solid blocks in the corners and it looks too plain. The braid is only as long as the sides. Is it going to look strange if continue the braid to the end on two longer sides? I can't miter it and I can't think of any easy block that would coordinate with the Carpenter Star and the braid. This is in orangy and rust batiks if that helps. I though of appliquing the corners, but I can't think of four appliques. This daughter is very 'girly', but she doesn't like hearts.
Thank you.
