I have that pattern too. I do think that it would be fine, but if you want to make it a little larger, I believe you could just add maybe 4 quilters eighths and cut as you do the rest of them and then you would have extra blocks to add to the width or the length. Haven't really checked the pattern out yet, but I believe it would work. Since this quilt doesn't already have one, nother option is to add a 4 inch border all around. That is always an easy way to make a quilt a little larger.
