Need Help
I just finished binding a quilt for my sister and now realize I should have made it a little bit bigger. Is there anyway to add on to it without having to take the binding off? I don't have enough of the border material , but I do have some other material I used for sashing that I could use. What would you do? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had a quilt given to me that was just a few inches short of meeting the top of my bedskirt. The quilt was pastel and very sweet so what I did was get some white eylet material, made a 4 inch ruffle and stitched it to the back of the quilt in the ditch of the binding. It looked like it was supposed to be that way and I got to use my quilt.

I've ripped out miles and miles of stitches. I'd take the binding off and never think a thing about it.

I have taken off binding on a few quilts for several reasons, one I just didn't like the binding color, and the other was to replace an block and ... do what you have to because you won't be happy until you do.,..
