I'm back quilting again. I took a few weeks break so I don't get burned out.
I have a delima. I need to make this 10 inches longer. It is 60 X 60 right now.
Do you think it would look ok to put a thin border of the rose on at the top and bottom and then a wider row of the flowered on?
Any suggestions?

Just me, but I think it is hard to make a square quilt into a rectangular quilt without it looking odd.
Why not just add 10 inches both ways and have a 70 inch square quilt?
But if you must, maybe put a row at the top and bottom, then add an equal amount all the way around..
Not sure how it will turn out, but it will be balanced
Nice job, by the way.....congrats on a beautiful quilt

Very nice way to make it work. I think it's gorgeous btw. And for a laugh, I thought the pink was a border, then realized it was the carpet color...hehe sorry about that...
But it's a good solution, I say keep it. :oops:

It is a beautiful quilt - with and without the added bit. I am like you - I just do not care all that much for square quilts........ to get them long enough for beds today - they become problematic.
I think you solved your problem well!! Carry ON!!!
