I've seen a video of a quilt pulling apart easily after being joined for years /months. It was a demo of making a sandwich using 505 which showed unpeeling. I think I would make a new quilt and leave that one as is , especially if you have quilted it.

If all your trying to do is make the quilt larger, why take it out? Why not just add some quilted borders using the quilt as you go method?

If the finished quilt was ever washed, there should be no basting spray left, but if it has not been washed, then this method should work, just remember to let the pieces dry before doing anymore work on it.
