Looks great to me. If you need more length and width, then maybe add another border. Otherwise, it's great as it is.
Actually, I don't need any more length or width, only if I want to make it a full spread over the bed, with sufficient drop. One of the other members suggested to leave it as it. My future DIL may not want to use it as a bedspread. That certainly simplifies my life :)

Looks fine. Will require lots of quilting if you extend the size with big borders.

True. I'm thinking I won't do that.

I would leave it as it is if she likes things simple! It has a ton of spark now, so if you do more it won't be minimalist any more.
She should love it as is

Isn't it amazing how when you lay out your quilt out on the floor, the helpers just gotta come over and try it out. They have the entire rest of the floor and all the furniture to get comfy on but they just gotta lay on the quilt! Gotta love them helpers!

I agree, the quilt is beautiful, but a wider 6 inch border would make it look finished.
