Can this be done?
Has anyone added borders after the quilt has been quilted? My frame only allows me to quilt 92 or less inches wide. If I want it wider, can I add a border after it has been quilted? Do I sandwich it with batting and then add it? Can I just add a hemmed skirt or ruffle? Any suggestions are welcome. I'm just brainstorming

Of course, you could add a hemmed skirt or ruffle ... what do you want?
You could look at QAYG techniques as a possible way to do what you want to do.
Also, take a look at MaryKatherine's thread where she did the reno of a quilt, already quilted, finished and bound. She gives good explanations as to how she did it!
