A few questions/comments -

It is beautiful so far - I love the design and the colors you have used.

You might consider starting with what you want the finished size to be (allow for "shrinkage" that happens when it is quilted and what it might shrink after it is washed).

How does your daughter put her pillows on the bed during the day? Some people put the pillows on top of the quilt - which is what I do.

Some people use a pillow tuck and the pillows are covered with the quilt/spread. Even that varies from a "barely there" tuck to about a six inch tuck.

Some people only put a border on three sides of the quilt/spread.

Is this intended to be a bedspread?

I prefer that a quilt/spread only drop to cover the top couple of inches of a bed skirt. I think they get too heavy and uncomfortable to be under when they reach the floor. Plus hard to handle while making it.
