Buckeye Rose

I am making this OSU quilt for a customer. She wants is King sized, and with the gray outer border (hard to see) it now measures 86W x 98L. Knowing that a standard king bed is 76x80, she will have approximately 18 inches of overhang at the foot of the bed and 5 inches on each side. If I add another border all the way around in order to get more overhang on the sides, then it is way too long. Would it look ok to add another border on just the sides to get the right drop? Or would it just look too tacky? There was no pattern for this, I just used a pic of one already done and played around with it for a bit to get the look I wanted....I don't think the pic was king sized either. Help me!

Yes, just add borders to the sides. I have read about others doing that since I found these quilting boards.

Yes add the borders to the sides. I think it will look great! Post pics!!!

Borders to the sides would be fine!

Honestly, I'd add an extra border but a shorter one on the end and longer on the sides to even out the over hang. It will look great and hang just right.

Great job on those buckeyes!

You can definitely add more on each side...I would use a wider strip of black on the sides and a narrower strip on the bottom and top. It will balance it out nicely. Great job too, by the way.
