If you add one more on point square to each border and also shift them over by half a square, you can get the on point squares to meet nicely at the corners. It would look like this:

Making this change will definitely require some ripping and new sewing, but I think will be well worth it.

White corners are good, perhaps put some interesting quilting designs, or applique or embroidery in them.

Platyhiker beat me to it. You just need to reorganize the location of your on-point squares (scoot them over a bit), then add another square.

What size is this quilt and how much area is there in the "new" white space? I'm wondering if you could add a star to each corner, similar to the main star, but simplified?

Just think of them as pretty bandaids. I it ain't broke, don't fix it! Love the design and colors of your quilt, corners and all.

I like Playhiker's suggestion=I think it complements the feathered star medallion nicely. I felt there was something missing with the 'band-aid' arrangement. Please show us your quilt after you consider the suggestions and make your choice. Your quilt is very beautiful.

How about a paper-pieced fan in the corners? Wish I had a photo of the one I did - it solved the same problem that you're having.

I like Playhiker's suggestion equally as well as the plain white blocks. I think either would work very nicely.
