I dont think your friend realizes how much work that involves--and then to take it apart?? I dont think i would--i would just explain to her that adding more after its been quilted would be very difficult and may not look good in the end.Offer to make another if she is a very good friend and tell her to use that one on a different bed.I am not saying she is stupid--its just that people that dont do quilting dont know how much work is involved.Good luck with that one.
