Default Need opinions please!

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!
