Border Size Question

I always tend to do a narrow - 1 1/2" border then an outer border. I just like the look of it. Like others have said - play around with what pleases you ---- we don't allow the "quilt police" in here.

I have just started another Boxed Squares that will have two borders when done. I am making the outer border to be finished at 4 inches to accommodate the quilting that I plan for it. Usually I try to make the border be a size to fit the quilting I want to do.

Thank you all for your comments and thoughts. This is a wonderful, encouraging community.
I ended up going with the 1" red border and then 5" navy border.
I am really undecided as to how to quilt this. I think I will free motion quilt circles in the border, so that I have some organic movement in the otherwise really structured quilt. I don't know what to do in the body of the quilt. I can't see myself stitching in the ditch on every single seam, but I don't want anything to take away from the quilt as it is. Any other ideas?
