Question about widths of final border.

Question about widths of final border.
I'm doing an Irish Chain and was wondering about borders. I've already done a narrow (1 in. finished) border and want to do a final border. [Sorry I can't do pictures.] Was wondering what proportion should I use? Don't want it too wide, but just baffled as to the width. I think 2 1/2" looks OK, and so does 3". Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any input.

And if you only want the one inch that you've done, you can stop at that!
It's really your choice.
Consider how you would like to quilt it ... that may make your decision re the final (if any) border!

Are you making the quilt for a bed? How many more inches do you need to make the quilt the size needed to adequately cover the bed you're making it for? I'm a long arm quilter, so I would make the border several inches wide to show off a beautiful quilting pattern, but that's just me.
