Totally up to you ... would you like to make a bed quilt AND a lap top? Would you get tired of making the same pattern again or did you enjoy it so much that you'd love to make more? Those are the things that would go thru my head to decide.
It really is lovely, the fabric really give this a stained glass effect.

I would enlarge it if that's what you want. It is BEAUTIFUL. The pattern repeats so it doesn't look that difficult to enlarge - and as others have recommended - use borders IF it doesn't detract from the quilt because it is beautiful as it is.

Really really pretty, but if it'll make you feel better I'll be glad to remove it from your sight! >grin<
What if you separate the 12 blocks you've got there. Then gather more batik fabrics and create more blocks using some of the same fabric colors used in your original blocks. Then shuffle and sew them up again. Might that work?
Or make a lap quilt?
Can you tell us what the name of the pattern is please?

Forget the pattern, add onto this doing what you did before...gorgeous!
A friend of mine did the same thing...cut wrong, did the best she could and won a ribbon at the quilt show w/ the "accidental" quilt! You've got a winner hee!
