I made this quilt top from this month's Quilters world mag. Measures 60x60...I had the idea of making it for my DH who is 6 ft plus.. Now it seems short. Would it make sense to add two rows so it becomes 60x84? I have extra fabric in my stash. Just need someone else's opinion.

I, too, have a tall man in my home. I'd add the two rows, that way he can cover his toes!

I have tall men and they like them longer for toe covering (smile). Beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing.

My husband is shorter than me so we don't have this problem:). I would definitely make it longer....looks great by the way...very man-caveish (not sure that is a word but you know what I mean)

One row longer and the borders should do it. He's not likely to cover his head. Your choice of fabrics is wonderful. I really like the brown swirled one..
