Is it "acceptable" to finish this quilt with 3 borders on 3 sides (not on the top)?

Yes, it is acceptable. I never did like those wide borders on the top but then you have to extend the length of the body of the quilt so you are not short at the bottom. That is the way quilts from the 1800s were made.

Thank you all for your feedback! I usually don't follow a pattern, sort of free lance as I go, so never sure where I will end up! I did put the 2 1/2" brown sashing across the top, and will add the binding to that. I agree, not having anything but the braid at the top wouldn't be a good thing, too much stretchy stretchy! I just finished piecing the back to size and hope to send it to the long arm quilter this week! I love the colors, hope my daughter will as well!

I really like your idea of knowing which way is up :0). It seems whenever making the guest bed I get it sideways. Since this is one of the first I've made just for us and not a gift, it gives me the freedom to do as I please with this quilt.
