Okay, now stir me but when cutting and doing sizing for my DDS new bed quilt I miss measured. Or at least miss calculated. Now this quilt was originally supposed to be full sized but now has to be a twin because we are having a third child and her and her bro are now going to share a room and bunk bed.
My question to you guys would be this.... is it okay to add fabric to the sides but not the top and bottom. The length is just fine. Go figure that out. I just don't know if I should mess with it or just be done. It will maybe tuck on the sides. Being bunk beds the top where my dd will sleep needs to be tucked under. Hope this is clear. Will post a pic of what I have now so you can help.

I've done it on jillion times, although I usually put a really narrow border of the side border fabric at both top and bottom to balance it little. But it is your quilt. Do you what you need to do to make it work and then love what you've made. froggyintexas

I usually don't like borders on the top. I think it looks much nicer than a wide band of fabric at the top. I would try to put something on the bottom just to balance the quilt but it is up to you.
