Unhappy Help!

I haven't attempted a quilt in 3-4 years.
So, I am making this for my very first great-grandchild, and already discouraged! First off, I should have searched harder for my walking foot to quilt it....then, when it is quilted, I started cutting off the excess to bind it.
Oh my goodness, after swearing I had plenty of excess, I find myself short 1/4 - 1/2 inches on one side
What in the World do I do???
Should I add another border with a larger seam to catch the quilt top? If I do that, then my star points on the border will probably be lost
I suppose I could sew on a bit more backing to make up the loss, which I think will be ugly, but possibly the only way to fix this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
