Default Filling in boring setting triangles

Making placemats, using a plain (nine-patch) star block on point, there is a lot of empty space there.

Wish I'd thought of that before I made ten blocks!

Has anybody ever setting triangles in more than one piece, to give it some pizzazz? Maybe a stripe parallel to the edge which joins the block? That would echo the block itself.

The other thing I could do is put them back squared instead. Doesn't look so nice to me.

The blocks are 16 1/2" square and I was figuring to cut off the top and bottom corners to be 12 1/2" and add a couple strips on the sides to bring it to 18 1/2" raw.

What do you all think?

I appreciate any suggestions!
