Had you thought of making the stretched star instead? You would need to add extra to top and bottom, but the star itself is elongated.

I am guessing she means when she puts the quilt on the bed, there is extra to tuck under the pillows and then up over them.

I just saw one the other day, I think they took a section of the star, and broke it up for the corners to make it into a rectangle. I think it was either in the Connecting Threads or Keepsake Quilting catalog. If I find it I will post which one.

I just went to check the photo in the link mentioned here and it is a square (I counted the 1/2 square triangles on the borders and there are 21) but I have seen one where borders were added to top and bottom to make it rectangle for a bed.

A square star pattern can be used and still get a pillow tuck.
Just another row(s) of stars.

Thank you all so much for the ideas. I am going to draft a couple of them to see how it would look on paper before cutting my fabric.
