If you could use a larger quilt, I would think about adding a border(s) of some kind.
It is a lone star pattern with a complicated setting. The setting pieces would not come out right if the lone star was made smaller. It would have to be made smaller uniformly.
The paper pattern is not for sewing through. It is on one hugh piece of sturdy paper and the instructions are to trace the outlines out on your own paper. The previous response mentioned the copy store may not want to copy the pattern. They wouldn't know it was copyrighted if I brought them my tracing of the pattern.
I need to make it smaller... not bigger.
