Default Adding to older lap quilt

My DH wants his lap quilt, which I made years ago, made bigger. I made the first one with Civil War reproduction fabrics. I found three historical fabrics in similar colors. Now to decide how to enlarge the quilt. I was thinking about making a "picture frame" border but not too sure how to miter the corners. Also, need the top and bottom borders to be wider than the sides so it turns out longer than it currently is.
All suggestions are welcome! Thanks.
