It looks great as it is but I agree bigge ris better. Some of my children are so long they love their old twin quilts but complain the quilt is too short. They like to lift it and put it under their feet and still pull it up till around their ears.

What about a medium bown border? The burgandy may give it a Christmas look. You have med browns in the blocks. Just a suggestion.
