Hello all you quilters out there! I am a newbie to quilting and I am working on a quilt for my husband, who is very tall. Is it ok to add a few extra borders on the ends to extend the length, then put a final border all the way around? Thanks for your help.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!
There's no quilt police on this board so you can do anything you want to! What kind of quilt are you making? Would it be easier to just add an extra row of blocks(if you're making blocks) instead of extra borders? Could you post a picture then more would be able to help you!

I am making a quilt with fabric that my husband brought back from Africa. I also got some coordinating fabrics at a local quilt shop,so I have some of that left over for borders. I have most of the middle done, so was hoping to just add the borders, if it would look ok. I will try to post a picture, but I'm not too great at that.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!
You may add extra borders whenever you want!!
I do like the idea of an extra row of your blocks first though. As stated above, there are no quilt police here. Feel free to post a picture and ask questions and opinions.
