    Most likely quilt with border is the new idea: more fabrics to buy

    I put borders on all of my quilts, just like I put picture frames on all of my pictures. It stops the action and completes them.

    I actually prefer my scrap quilts without boarders just like the traditional quilts. I love scrap quilts and always add a solid to them to give a place for the eye to rest.
    Have a great day making your scrappy quilt. Karen

    I like quilts without borders. This is one of my favorite books:

    I often make quilts without borders, but always with binding. So the binding does serve as a border, albeit a small one.
