I had a quilt that was a few inches too short on the sides (customer didn't take into account the puffiness of new mattress when she measured) and added a 6" ruffle on 3 sides. I made the ruffle and then sewed right to the binding. The width issues all fixed and the customer loved it....said she liked it better with a ruffle....LOL

Add a border to the bottom and top of the quilt.
