I'm by no means a expert, but I would think that a nice wide border of lace, like the ones you can get at Wally world and Joannes by the foot. I've seen some pretty wide, around 5-6 inches wide. Or some pretty fabric doubled and gathered some?

It is very easy to add borders to nearly anything....like framing a picture or adding a mat to make a photo fit a frame. Top stitch to hold new seams down. You can even stitch hem tape or flat lace to hold the new seams "in hiding".

Thanks so much for your suggestions.

How about buying a coordinating one you like in a larger size and cut off the sides and sew onto the sides of the small one, and add the rest along the bottom?

Add borders, but if you want to keep the quilted look, add already-quilted fabric which you buy at JoAnn Fabric and Crafts. Measure your existing quilt, across the center, top to bottom.

There are 2 things you could do, one is to get another twin size one in the same style and cut it down the center lengthwise and sew each 1/2 to the sides to extend the width. The other thing you might try is to get matching fabric and make a floor length dust ruffle and sew it to the quilt top at the edge of the matress. Hope this helps.
