Yes, I did it once. I made a very elaborate quilt for my parents...it has over 26 blocks of embroidered Hummel designs. Before I could finish it they sold their queen size bed and bought a king! Here is what I did and it worked well.

I removed the binding from the side and bottom of the quilt. I made an 18" drop out of solid fabric, for each side...I made each piece just like a quilt, batting, backing and FM quilted it on my domestic machine, the sides of each piece and the bottom were enclosed, the top, that attached to the quilt body were open. I then serged, with a 4-thread wide stitch, these pieces to the sides and bottom of the quilt. It worked fantastically, that was 7 years ago, the quilt has since passed to my daughter and is still in find condition. I will post a picture but I do not think it shows the edges I attached.
