Sure, why not? Add a border, or more to the top. Same to the back. Zig zag batting to the existing batting in the middle. Will take some time, but will work,and be well worth the effort. Much luck. Post pix of before and after, please.

THANK YOU soooooooooooo much for the site. The Gourmet Quilter video was so helpful. I'm hosting a Sit 'N Stitch next week, and this will be the technique I will teach. Again, thanks!

Yes, it can be done.

I extended a quilt by just quilting a strip and attaching to each side and ends.

I also made a quilt in two pieces (cut in half) and joined later.

Good info, I think it will help me finish a quilt I wasn't happy with. :o

It's your quilt-------do what makes you happy. If you add borders after it's been quilted, you might be able to machine quilt the border, even on a small domestic machine. And if you're hand quilting, you could just continue out.

I have done it a different way. Fold the fabric on the sides in when you put it on your frame and make it fit the frame with the excess folded. Then I quilt the parts that I can get to avoiding the folded in fabric. If you are on a longarm you should be able to quilt everything except for the sides. Then take it off the frame and turn it 1/4 turn folding in the new sides and quilt the areas that you weren't able to do the first time. If you are not on a longarm this should work also. The time it takes to reposition it on the frame should be less than the time to get the borders on and quilt them later.
