Is there an easy way to enlarge a blooming ninepatch quilt?

I want to enlarge a blooming ninepatch quilt to queen size. In the
book, Traditions with a Twist, the size is 72"x82" without borders.
Have any of you just added a 'straight' outside border w/o having to
begin in the center?

If you look at the principle of the quilt Rusty, you will see that
adding 'size' is just a question of adding another colour or two into
the sequence.

Or using bigger squares to start with. G But be a bit careful there,
it could get way tooo big. G

Yes! I didn't dare suggest that, just in case - as I hadn't done the
sums g

Rusty I made a queen-sized Blooming 9-patch a few years ago:
http://www.sandymike.net/large.html#blooming. I used ten fabrics
instead of the usual eight, and it came out just right. I did
consider simply adding a straight border to the basic pattern, but I
decided that it would be more interesting visually to continue the
pattern through two more fabrics.

That's what i'll do! Sounds perfect, and you've done my thinking for
me!

I did it and enlarged the blocks to 6"finished, and used 5 colours! It
was/is rather large but great!
