Question How would you make a quilt bigger?

I am trying not to buy any fabric this year...using only my stash so this also makes me more creative in my thinking. Its actually quite fun and using materials that I would not normally use for my project.

Would you quilt a border and then stitch it on as you would in a quilt as you go quilt? just curious. I made a quilt starting it in 09 and then we bought a kingsize mattress and naturally it no longer fits. Thanks!
