quilts with borders on only three sides -
In some ways - if one only uses a quilt on a particular bed - and only with the borderless side towards the "head" of the bed - it seems to make sense to only put three borders on a quilt.
How many people do that? (Instead of the usual/customary borders on all four sides?)

I think that used to be pretty common "back in the day". As well as putting on a beard protector, a piece of fabric over the top edge (usually a thin muslin, to protect the fabric from the coarse beard/grease and not the beard from the fabric!).
The only real downside is it definitely makes the quilt directional, but sometimes that can be a good thing. You ever have the does the quilt go this way or that way on an almost square one?
