Need your advise. I'm putting a two inch inner border on a quilt for my little grandson but I discovered that the fabric is short by an inch or two for the longer sides. The only solution I can think of is to cut the fabric into two strips, sew them together and then place the border seam at the center of each quilt top side and sew it on. I wouldn't have to do that for the top and bottom. Is there another way to make the side bindings a bit longer or do you think it would be ok to do it this way?

It also gets a four inch outer border but I have plenty fabric for that border.

Thanks a bunch,
Jackie
