You did a fantastic job of enlarging the quilt "seamlessly". Nicely done.

Wow!! Perfect. Sometimes another quilt is OK and sometimes people do not want to have another quilt, they want the one they cherish with memories, just larger. What a great solution!

I was able to get enought border fabric to make the extensions. How lucky was that?

Clever leaving the binding on but how is it treated on the underside and how's the addition attached?

I think you did a super job of adding on without it looking "added on." I've been thinking about adding on to a couch size quilt for my son. I see that he has it thrown over his queensize bed. There are a lot of pieces left from that quilt so adding on would work. I was thinking that I'd remove the binding and add borders by the QAYG method....applying the batting and backing together as with the 6-hour quilt. But using your idea would save that step of removing the binding (I cringe at the thought of unsewing!). Thanks for sharing!
