if you are only using it for looks, I was a beautiful love quilt that was made by an online group of friends when I got my cancer diagnosis last year. It it just exactly the size of the top of my queen mattress (it was actually made for me to snuggle under, but I love to have it on my bed) I like the way it looks just fitting the top of the mattress. Have you tried it on the bed? You may actually like it that way. I would use a beautiful sheet set that coordinates with it.
