Default Enlarging finished quilt

A few years ago I made a quilt for a friend. At the time we thought I had made the quilt large enough to be used on either a double or queen size bed. Recently my friend got a queen size bed and would now like the quilt enlarged. I'm not sure if I want to take on this project - I think I would rather make a whole new quilt than try to make an existing quilt larger. My question is, how would you go about enlarging an existing quilt? I am thinking that I would take off the binding and then add another border or two, but how do I go about that? I can picture adding another border, but what about the batting? I have never done a "quilt as you go". Would I add the border in the same manner? I have more of the same fabric, but after five years I'm sure there is a difference in the colors at this time. I have time to think about this as I wouldn't tackle this project until after the holidays as I am busy making Christmas gifts at this time. Thanks in advance for your input.
