Default Strangely long quilt

The size of the graphics on these tees required a long block - 14 x 18 is what I used. So to use the 20 shirts the mom wanted I ended up with a 72 x 98" quilt. That's with bigger borders on the sides than the top/bottom. My, oh my! Now I know if I need that size block to limit the quilt to 16 blocks and let them know it will be square. I've used this template for 12 tees and it worked just fine. Is this stupidly long? Just back it and call it good?

Looks great! The extra length can tuck in a pillow! Well Done.

Thought of that but it wasn't meant to be a bed quilt. Oh well! It would be great on a single bed, but not quite wide enough for double. They'll just have to fold it. And fold it. And ...,
