Instead of making two borders wider, why don't you consider adding an 'inner' border which is just on the two sides you want to expand, pick a pretty fabric, inset it all with sashing, then do the outer border?
That might work on a medallion.

I've done this and it comes out very nicely. In fact, I've seen several vintage quilts that were done this way. After all, the top gets tucked under a pillow. If the quilt is large enough to go over the pillow, no border at the top means that the pattern is seen and not just a blank border.
