Help, I'm stuck. I've had this block laying around for about 2 years and I have no idea how I want to finish it off. Suggestions please.

If you don't want to make more, put on a binding and make it a wall hanging.
Depending on the size, you could put it on a tote, or make it into your own Round Robin, you could even go 'Christmasy' with it.
Add more green, red, and white blocks around it? Lots of possibilities, and it is a beauty, norbanaquilts :D

I agree with quiltincrazy.A pretty christmasy border and you would have a nice Christmas wallhanging. Its very pretty!

How large is the block?

Clever way of seaming the white parts. That looks like it would make assembling the block much easier.

You could put diamonds around the edge -

You could use this as a center medallion for a larger quilt -

You could put wide solid borders around the sides with a LeMoyne star in each corner -

How large do you want to go? How much coordinating fabric do you have around?

Size doesn't matter, I just want it out of the UFO pile.
I'll have to go search the stash to see what I have to go with it.
I don't quite understand what you meant by diamonds around the edge (I can be a little thick headed)

Thanks everyone for all your help and ideas. I knew some brilliant mind on here will have the answer I'm searching for

It would make a nice Christmas wallhanging if you just want to finish it this size.
Maybe a couple of borders??
Beautiful star!!

Love your lonestar. It's a right of passage to have a lonestar UFO, isn't it? b/c I have one too :)
I think you can do any number of things, but what ever you do, remember there's a lot of hard work in there. :) :) It's beautiful!!

This is what I seen for borders when I looked at your center...Your center is much more pretty than any that I looked at to play with.
This is worked up to approx 90X90
