Would you suggest a border?
This is my variation of Missouri Star's "Big Star." My, it sure is RED! It is much larger than it appears in the picture. It already fits our queen bed, but I think it needs a bit of a border. What would you talented folks suggest? This is for my sweet husband, whose favorite color is red. By the way, I don't really have a large amount of the fabrics left over.

Great star top! I might do a white border with the red squares in it to finish the pattern. Start thinking about what you plan to quilt to give you ideas. If you don't want to make the top too much bigger, just do half of the red square in the border.
