How would you do this?
Please? and Thanks!!

(sorry, not sure if I've explained this right)
Why don't you make a bed skirt the length of the ruffle you would like. It would go over the box springs and down from there. This would give the same effect without all the bulk attached to the quilt.
....... except this is not a bed quilt. It'll be in my living room! :)
I'm not really trying to widen it for the width reason, more so to put something different at the edge instead of a traditional border/binding.
