    I like it just as you have it now. Add borders. If it really needs lots of extra, possibly use sashing.

    Invert them all the way around would look great, like a finishing border.

    I love the idea of inverting the fabrics! Could look very cool.

    add sashing and 4" border on sides ans 6-8" border top and bottom for a twin. Looks good as is.

    It is a surprise - she doesn't know I am making it...she has been "complaining" that everyone has a new quilt except her....

    Invert them and using them for a border all the way around is perfect!! I can't wait to see how you finish it!
