I like Jan's idea to turn it on point. I understand where you're coming from. I don't like to make quilts/throws too small to actually use. And like you said - you don't have wall space for hanging. I definately don't like to make a quilt just to be making a quilt that's not usable as a quilt.

i would piece another border to go around it...maybe mimic the star points in the corners in a mini version ...you could make the small stars put strips of coordinating fabric between them and make 4-6" wide strips to add to it.
it is beautiful!

i always have the opposite problem than this...i have trouble keeping them from becoming HUGE...way bigger than i ever planned ;)

Fantastic idea Jan! :thumbup: although this quilt is beautiful as is!!

It is gorgeous! A perfect lap quilt if you decide not to do any other borders. Some great ideas here to make it a little bigger.

I love watercolor quilts. I have done a few and they are fun, but I've had my fill of doing them I think. Beautiful work.

I think adding to it would take away from it.

[quote=PWinston] If you really need to enlarge it, treat it as a medallion center and do other star block rounds. You fabric should coordinate but doesn't have to be an exact match. quote]

I think it't going to be beautiful no matter what you decide, but I agree with star blocks all around with similar fabrics. Too much or too many wide borders could possibly take away from that awesome star in the center. JMHO

Beautiful

I would widen the lavender border and put a thin dark border around the edges.
