I goofed. Please ignore this mock up and I will do another one with the right measurements!

Sorry Barb

The easiest would be to add an additional INSIDE border of 5" to both the top and bottom. This will give you the 96" by 110" you are looking for and will still look very nice on your bed.

I attaching a mock up of your quilt. Ignore the colors and I made one mistake on it and didn't try to fix it. Hope this helps.
