It may only be needed for width, quilt lengths are usually around 80" so if it's that or more on your pattern you'll just add blocks for width.
The other thing not to do is add additional borders - will ruin the design. Rest assured, had the designer wanted more borders, she'd have included them.
A woman after my own heart! LOL I agree that after thinking about it--I really am not ready to do "do the math" yet. Plus I think for this quilt, the extra borders would take away from the old fashioned feel of the quilt. There are other patterns I think would look nice with more or larger borders though.

You know, after getting all this good imput--I think I'm ready to start this project. :-D

Thank you so much,
