I vote for make another quilt. First find out if he likes this particular quilt or does he just want a quilt of his own. If it's this particular quilt, then either make another one like it but bigger. If he just wants a bigger quilt, let him help you decide on the design.

I would leave the quilt just as it is and make another quilt big enough for the bed or get him a Walmart blanket--LOL. I have the same problem at my house so when my husband rotates to midnight shift he doesn't understand why I sleep better. That is such a beautiful quilt just the way it is I would figure out a plan B.
There is a pattern called Lovers Knot-you can google it. Fast, pretty and the name says it all.

A pieced border of more blocks would look the best. Just solid strips of fabric is going to look like more border than quilt top. Also looks like the quilt is square, for a bed quilt you will need more length.

I have found that I have been opting for square quilts more and more as they give lots of drop on the sides, as well as the pillow tuck and end drop.
Plus when two are sleeping together, it gives the extra width for the quilt-wars.
Which really, isn't that the issue MaryKatherine is facing here?

Well, I found this sunflower fabric that looks like it would be a perfect border. Your quilt looks like Sunflowers to me.
