I agree with Neesie. A wide border (4 " or more, maybe?) of the orange and then a wider border of the cars print. It's going to be an adorable quilt! He'll love it!

Another suggestion -- A nice 3" red border around the star. Then a border of the cars with only 4" on the sides but 12-15" top and bottom. Then the blue border also making the top and bottom larger than the sides. I might even bind it with the red to pull it together. A thought!

I think that your quilt measurements may be off. An X-long twin bed is 39" x 80". The recommend size for that bed is 68" x 94", allowing for a 15" drop on the sides and bottom. That does not take into account a pillow tuck. I'm making a twin sized quilt using a Disney Princess panel (34 3/4" x 39 3/4") for DGD and it's going to be 68 1/2" x 94 1/2". I planned it so that the panel is centered when it is on the bed w/pillow. Just a thought.
