Default Oh for an INCH and a half on this evolving quilt

Mom is 89 and to keep her mind busy we do a variety of activities. Last week we put together a quilt top. The center pieces were wonky shaped pieces cut from a too small piece of ready made quilt fabric. We put pieces on each side of the little blocks. Then I cut the blocks to a uniform wonky block size. It looked really blah put next to each other so we added some snow balls in 2 corners of each quilt block. Now the backing piece I have is an inch and a half too narrow. It has been suggested that we put some strips on each side and use them to wrap around and bind the quilt. I think I have barely enough fabric to make boarders like that. But how do we do the corners if the back is narrower than the front? The next question. I would like to free motion some hearts on there. Has anybody seen a simple way to do a few joined together hearts?
