This Trip Around the World is one of the QOV's I volunteered to quilt. It measures 67 x 67 inches.
I probably should have left it alone but I thought it needed a little more length. I added a 2.5 inch (cut) dark blue and then 5.5 inch (cut) flag borders to the top and bottom. I like it much better. The size is approximately 67 x 81 before quilting.

I like the addition to the Trip around the world quilt. I typically like square quilts but I agree with you, it need a little more length.
Good idea to add a little length to your Trip Around the World quilt. I have made this pattern before and it is fun.
I prefer rectangular quilts over square quilts, too. We humans are rectangular, after all. Beautiful colors to that QOV quilt!!!
Nice job on adding the top and bottom borders! The quilt looks more complete with it.
I like what you did to it - frames that trip nicely!
A very fine trip around the world! The borders look great!
