    If you wanted, you could put a skinny border on top.

    It's just that if you put borders on top and bottom, you could reverse the top/bottom to bottom/top. If that makes any sense.
    That was my though.

    Good point, but I have to admit I am not very hard on my quilts and even after years they don't show wear. Just some fading from light.

    It is your creation, do what you want not what someone thinks you should do.
