Are you taking the binding off? I have a lap size too that I want to enlarge but I keep thinking about how long it will take to remove the binding first in order to add extra borders to enlarge it. It is a "quilt as you go" using four inch strips of fabric (kind of like a large log cabin square). It's a very pretty floral print quilt - just wish it was larger.
Actually, after reading some of these threads, looks like you can either use your ripper to remove binding or just cut it off as someone suggested. That would be much easier.
