Red face Daughter getting married and they want a King sized patriotic quilt.

My daughter is marrying a marine this spring and they would love a patriotic quilt.

I do not have it in me to start one from scratch but have a top with a border, 76 x 76 that I plan to add a tone on tone dark blue border too but how big a border? How big a finnished quilt?

What size do I need for a Cal King quilt? I read several options from 120 x 120 to 100 x100 or longer one way then the other, 114 x 120. What is the smallest I can get away with.

Other dilema. Extra wide backing seems to come only up to 108 inches wide. Are there wider backings or should I piece three pieces of regular fabric together?

I have done several of the options and not used extra wide backing but I would love to this time because of time considerations.
