Default Snail Trail quilt no done...

I thought I would be able to get this quilt done in time for the wedding but I didn't. I just gave the couple a picture of a snail trail quilt and said there's was on the way.

This was a very hard quilt for me for some reason but I do have the top done and just have to add the borders. I had some health issues, I fell down the basement stairs and hurt my arm so had to let that heal before I could go back to sewing. I'm fine now and so glad I didn't do something worse then just my arm. I tripped over our kitty and went down, I think he was more scare then I was, poor kitty.

My question is, it is turning out more square, right now the top measures 82x84 with out the borders, when I add the borders it will be 102x104, it is suppose to be a king size quilt which is around 104 x96 or a little bigger if you want a longer drop. Is a square quilt ok, most quilts I make are not square. I could maybe add a extra border on the top and bottom but didn't know how that would look. So what are your thought on this.. Thanks

here is a picture before the borders laying on top of our king bed, so you can see it fits the top of the bed.
