Dina, I see yours has passed inspection.
Yes, Hot Rod, my 16 pound quilt inspector, has to approve every quilt I make! His idea, not mine. :)

Going away for weekend, so have to put this away. I've just tried making several color copies. Cutting the blocks apart & adding another row. Almost worked,of course I'm almost cross eyed. Your suggestion makes more sense, start all over again.

I know that isn't what you are wanting to do, but perhaps it is a starting spot. If you made the top and bottom borders bigger...well, now I can't visualize that either, but...there ought to be a way to do it.

I will attach a picture of mine. It isn't quilted yet in the picture, but I haven't taken a picture of the finished product yet. I literally just finished putting the binding on it. Perhaps the picture will generate an idea for you that will help...

Wow, adding borders looks great. I assumed I couldn't do borders.

Ditto what joyce888 said.

Redrafting for rectangles would be my solution. I love the added borders.

My daughter made this quilt a couple of years ago. She said it was really very easy. I like the idea of adding borders to make it larger. It would frame the 3D effect of the quilt as is.

This is a Karen Combs pattern. She has several books out. Check those and see if she has a pattern that is rectangular.

An easier way to do it would be to change the design from squares to rectangles. It would be fairly easy to elongate the quilt that way. Would mean redoing the instructions, but it wouldn't be that hard to do. You still get the 3-D effect.

I really like the way Dina done hers. You could just add thinner border all the way around & then another thin border on the sides & a wider top & bottom border. That would make it longer & would really frame the blocks & make them pop.
