Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have pieced KF's Bordered Diamonds for my king size bed. Dimensions: 112" (w) x 105" (l). I have discovered after squaring it up that I would like it to be 12" wider but no longer. Arrrrgh How would any of you go about fixing this? Would it be totally weird to add only side borders?

It makes me think of an I Spy type quilt for grownups. I like the richness and variety of colors.
Yes, you could add only side borders. Once it's on the bed, most people mostly notice the top and the side that is facing them.
Can you add another picture of how the side edge is right now?
Could you add another vertical row to make it wider?
the rows are diagonal. I would have to do soooo much unpicking and sewing to add a vertical row. I don't want to do that! lol I would rather create some kind of cool border...maybe little diamonds? flying geese? random left over strips? The blue bedspread and stripes below are my current bedspread and dust ruffle so disregard them. Can you spy the Kaffe Fassett fabrics? lol

I think adding to the width would be fine. I have done it and it turns out great
anymore fabric to add more full triangles on the sides??
I think side borders done in one of your diamond sashing colors would look really good - especially maybe one of the polka dots??? You did a wonderful job - it's a beautiful quilt.

Awesome quilt. Solid side bordes would look great.
Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.
I think I would add side and bottom border. The upper edge you could pill up and over the pillows. Beautiful quilt and fabrics.
I agree. I would add a border to the sides and bottom end. Beautiful quilt.Originally Posted by YC Quilter
I say yes. Add the side borders. They won't be noticed. And yes, I was drooling over the Kafe Fasset fabrics. I want a big collection of 1/2 yards for Christmas. And you pattern is perfect to showcase his fabrics.
