    It is just beautiful the way it is. I love your borders and the corners. I am working on a double Irish chain right now and may copy your borders.

    The extra length is good for tucking in.

    If it drapes the floor buy him some 'risers'. These little blocks will raise the bed 2=4=6 inches. The bed will feel like a new one and when he moves to a full size bed his quilt will fit perfectly. No way should you take off the borders.

    It's beautiful, and large enough to put over the pillows and hang down over the end. It's "just right".

    It will work fine. I make mine 65 inches wide, and they don't come even close to the floor. Five more inches on the sides will not make a difference. LIke the others have said, just tuck it over the pillow.

    You could buy risers, but you will not need to. Go try it on a bed, and you will see that you are "good to go."
