Question about enlarding a quilt -
Hello quilt buddies -
I have an unusual question. The quilt I would like to have bigger is an already-finished quilt. It's approx. 30 x 40 and I would really like to have it bigger. It has already been quilted and bound.
Any ideas?
Thanks -

I enlarged a quilt by cutting 12 1/2 inch fabric strips and sewing into long tubes. I then sewed the tubes to the finished quilt by layering the quilt on top of the tube (both right side up) sewing in the ditch by the binding. The tube has no batting. But you really don't notice when layed on the bed. You could probably ruffle the tube if you made it long enough. It was easy and looks great.

I'm with Bearisgray, it would be so easy just to start over and make a quilt in the same fabrics or colors. The only reason I would add on is if it's a panel that I just loved. But I still might just make a wall hanging out of the smaller quilt and make a similar new one.
