Need help with border size
I am making a quilt for a wedding that is in 11 days. I have the blocks put together and the first and second borders on. So far it measures 66 x 91, I have at least one more border to put on. Would it look strange if I put a 12" wide border on the sides and a 6" border on the top/bottom for the third border to make the size a total of 90x103. Somehow I need to get more width without increasing the length.
any ideas are welcome
I have tried to upload a picture of the quilt but since the changes to the board I find it almost impossible to do so

Having side borders larger (or in another cae top and bottom) is fine. I don't think I would make the 12" all one color tho as that makes it look like you are trying to enlarge it unless it really makes it look framed. Depending on the quilt itself maybe you need to put in some other designed fabric or maybe add some blocks that mimic the basic quilt. Good luck.

I've tried to post a pic but it keeps failing. I'm starting to think if I go with 2 borders all the way around same width on all sides, I will have the perfect size for a 10" tuck (bed spread)
cant get pic to upload but here is a link to the quilt on pinterest http://assets5.pinimg.com/upload/252...7_2SICC5Oo.jpg
