Time to finish this quilt!

I have had this quilt top laying around my sewing room for ever!! Today I decided I better do something with it. I can't decide if I should make it bigger, like King size or just throw a border on it and call it done at lap/twin size. This was actually going to be a quilt for Shelby when she turned 12, yikes she is now 20. She doesn't love the fabric. I made it in 30's which I love but she doesn't. I have a love of anything done with 30's fabric. I am out of the pink fabric for the setting squares so I would have to use something else. Hmmm, I am going to have to ponder this one. What would you guys do??
