I loved all of the solutions offered. Feline’s solution seemed like the best one and your finished product is the proof. I had been thinking of just a large square, which would have been the same size as the square that you completed with the two small squares. Your choice is better, because it retains your original border. I would be interested in seeing what a fan would have looked like.
But I have to say that I’m really amazed at the expertise of the various members who were able to change your original concept and show a rendering of their ideas. In fact, I’m in awe of their technical prowess.

Absolutely beautiful! Sometimes, we are our own harshest critics! I think it looks amazing just as it is!

That really makes the center stand out.

Making this change will definitely require some ripping and new sewing, but I think will be well worth it.
This is really nice. Love this fix.

The corners of the on-point blocks are bugging me....they look like bandaids to me! I have googled a bit, but I have not come up with a solution....any suggestions would be welcomed. Its still at a point where I can un-sew it...next border will be 1x3” flying geese....I think!
It is gorgeous. I would appliqué a mini octagon to mimic the center one on each corner.

How about adding a triangle on top of the 2 squares, the side closest to the corner? Or another suggestion would be to make it a full square on point so it would look like a larger diamond.

Your next row of flying will make it look really different. I don't see your "bandaid" look at all.

jillmc's picture is great. But I didn't dislike the bandaids. It's a lovely quilt.
