I am stumped big time.

Your mariners compass is gorgeous and I love how you are putting it together. The two blues are perfect! I like the idea of a very narrow white between the two blues, but also like the look of the darks framing the center without additional white. I think you will have to audition it to see which you like best. Either way will be beautiful!
If you want to continue your center to look like a square on point, that can be easily done by putting your center on a piece of newsprint (or newspaper for that matter) and just draw a line with your ruler continuing the line of your white fabric out from either side where you've added the corner triangles till the two lines meet in a point.
Hope this makes sense! I know what I mean!

I think I would go with the white in that area. The white will let those stars pop out like they are now and they'll also give you good size areas for some special quilting. I would add the border fabric next and do the tiny white piping like someone else suggested.
