30 Degree (Update note added)
EDIT June 25, 2014: Finally an update solution, completely redesigned the border (so this photo is a bit outdated)... What needs to be done is to shorten the outer square for the border to be shorter and fit properly. Then it will then meet the outer edges of the star and tuck nicely underneath the 30 degree star.
__________________________________________
First initiated without the border last year... Yes don't be fooled here, the non standard process and folding took upto 3-4 hours to figure the stupid model to align with the diagonal, in which I explain the process below. I AM glad many of you like to use the pattern star shapes I've developed and created variations from them, some credit would be nice. AS you can see taking the basic pattern: using standard 8x8+ grids, swivelling it, stacking more, folding and figuring from first glance photo (do look at images for inspiration) in/for an obvious way or making them in a 3D motion, locking it into a modular ball, etc is nice... I prefer the style like the approach below. THIS took several hours to figure, and can require math. Want to know the process? Ok in a nutshell: fold the 30 degree star, it obviously won't align with the diagonal. Next with some math or not use several hours you to think of how much you need to rotate to align it properly. Once this is done you can refold the model (yes there were 2 previous attempts); Finally shape. There you have it.
