Default Question about widths of final border.

I am making a baby quilt using a panel (Gone Fishing by Benartex). I fussy cut the blocks and used sashing. There are five rows of three approx 6" blocks..I say approx. because the blocks were a little off (not consistent). Actually it looks fine with the sashing -- it seemed to work it's way, but I don't like the proportion of the top. About 26 x 42 before the final border. Would this be -- beware quilt police: please close your eyes -- weird? Could I use, say, 3" borders at the top and bottom and 5" borders at each side? I don't do pictures so I can't be any help in that category. Please use your imaginations. Perhaps I should have used only 12 little blocks, but it's already done except for the final border; and besides the pictures are adorable. Good to play I Spy or a matching game. I thank you in advance for your valuable comments and your help.
