Here is the star I'm drooling over:

I thought I could possibly just blow up the paper piecing pattern on a copy machine, but after researching lots of people said that won't work as the copy machines apparently sometimes get it off, and the whole pattern won't work.
Simple. The easiest & fastest would be to enlarge just a quarter section. You don't have to be very precise about the single block size as you can finish out the quilt with assorted borders. In this case, I think I'd do a wide outside border of some print, a medium inside border of another co-ordinating print, a thin white border and on the inside a thin print border.
