That is a beautiful block. Where did you find a pattern for a block that large? I love it.

Just want to say how much I like your quilt top. Can hardly wait to see how it looks finished.

I would first add a section of pieced light and dark (maybe the red and cream) vertically to the bottom (like the stripes on a flag). Then I would add the borders that you choose. To get it to the size you choose.

Maybe one pieced border and one solid, that way you can make them however big you wish

This answer is precisely what I did to bring my quilt of valor up to desired size. Turned out really well.

Nice colours. Are you going to lose all your star points or does this matter?

This. Very nice so far. I really like the colors.

Another idea would be to make 3 more of the stars that size, each with different fabric but similar colors.
