I've made the strata star as a table topper and it was a fun project. In agreeing with Bree about the "flaps", if it is a bed quilt you're thinking of making, maybe you could make it with only three flaps that drape over the sides and the foot of the bed so there wouldn't be one at the pillows? If it is a lap quilt, then I don't think there would be any issue with the shape shown.
