    I was just wondering if anyone out there has ever made a quilt without top and bottom borders. I am making a flying geese quilt with a strip of fabric in between each flying geese strip and it looks good without any border on the top and bottom. Just wondering

    Sure. I have done a number of quilts with no borders. If it looks good, go for it! There really are no rules when it comes to quilting designs.

    It's your quilt, do what you want. If you like it without borders, don't put any on. I have made quite a few w/o borders and the persons that received them didn't mind that they didn't have borders.

    It's your quilt. Make it how you think it looks good.
