I would absolutey leave it the way it is. It is absolutely beautiful. Taking the top and bottom borders off will ruin it.

I would leave it. I love it just the way it is. I think it will look out of balance if you take them off. Personally, I'd rather have the quilt be a little too big.

I wouldn't change it. I like it just the way it is.

My quilt I made for our bed is 102" x 102" and it is just perfect. I think you will be happy with the extra length. Remember that it will get a little smaller after it is quilted. I wish mine was wider so me and DH wouldn't fight over it in our sleep!

It's beautiful just how it is...better too long than too short...look forward to seeing it when it's done.

Your quilt top is very pretty..personally I would not do anything..the quilting it going to shorten it some, and when it is washed, it will shrink some..better to be a little long than a little short!

I would leave the borders on, if you take them off it would affect the overall look. You can always tuck part of it under your pillow.
Love the colours and design.
