Thanks everyone! I have already quilted the quilt and the side and bottom borders, so to add another backing/batting/border to the top I think is beyond my abilities right now. So, I am doing some hand embroidery on some of the blocks, and then I will add the binding. Then wash the quilt and dry it and wrap it all up pretty. I will try to post photos before I do the wrapping.
Thanks again for all of your advice and help.

You would want the quilt top to be centered on the bed. Your borders should be wide enough on the top to accomodate this. My mother has made several large quilts and found that sometimes in order to keep the top centered properly, she had to make a narrower border on the top edge. It still needed a border-just narrower....
