OK, I see a great Carpenter Star with a border that is...well...not exactly complimenting the rest of the quilt. If I were working on this I would definitely keep the star. Take the borders off and take it to the shop with you. Audition some new borders, and get advice if you need to.
This will be a nice bed quilt, and I really think you will be glad to show it off when you get the borders on. Also, when you get new borders on you won't feel you're wasting your $ sending it to the LAQ.
Last resort, you can send it to me and I'll put it on my bed. I really do like the star.
