Yes, I do this quite often when I have a pattern that makes a square quilt. I do not care for square quilts that are meant to be used as a throw.

Just finished one for my 6'3" husband. Added two rows and borders and he loves it.

I'm only 5' tall, and even I'd like it longer to tuck under my feet and keep them warm. Go for the extra rows. It looks great.

Yep I have to do that all the time with patterns that I see listed in magazines. It seems they always make them way to short for the taller people and I'm surrounded by tall folks. LOL
I'm the midget at almost about 5', I keep checking but I still can't get to that 5' mark.

I love it and the sashes around the blocks makes them have the appearance of the block being raised.

Yes it makes sense. I have been doing fleece throws for taller people and making them 3 yards long. They love them. The quilt is gorgeous so far.

Beautiful quilt. Another vote for making it longer.
