Since a queen is approximately 90x96" you will need about 24 inch of borders all the way around.
What fabric do you have to use?
You could do a 6" border, then a 12" block and another 6" border or any combination to make it 24".
Could you continue the blocks you have with that same fabric? That would look nice for another 18" then a 6" border.
So many possibilities.
You might want to consider getting another of the same panel and use some of that.

Beautiful top! You can continue with the border idea using fabrics from the collection or fabrics that match.
Here is a picture of one that was in progress using different border ideas. I hope this helps you in making some decisions in enlarging your quilt.

FYI....Michael Miller is a combination of a man and woman who came together to collaborate on fabric designs. I always giggle when someone..refers to Michael Miller is "he". This top is beautiful, would like to see it when its done.

I saw this posting & wondered if you could add borders similar to the 1st quilt, not the one that is the Snow Chateau panel like yours. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t172310.html

Yes, I agree. I would add another stone border and then borders with the lavender and teal. Good luck!
