I've just put borders on my quilt. I put it on the bed and I think it is a bit too long. I was trying to measure for a queen size and I guess I should have put it on the bed before I added all of the borders. The width is OK. Question - should I take the top and bottom borders off? I'm going to try to post a picture.

How long is it? You could always dress the bed with the pillows UNDER the quilt!
Otherwise, you could take the top border off and fold/sew the top under to indicate that is the top, binding around the sides and bottom to keep consistency.

You can always fold extra under your pillows! I can't have a quilt that's too long. Mine are always too short and my feet stick out sometime during the night. I would be in heaven to have one that is "too long".
It's beautiful!

I love the way it is right now!

I like it as it is, and think that it would look unbalanced it you took off the top and bottom borders. I would just fold some of it under at the top under the pillows, as some of the others have.
I do that when I am sleeping under mine anyway, so that I am not grabbing the top of it under my chin in my sleep.
