Borders
Do you always put borders on your quilts or have you made quilts without borders?
I am doing the zippy quilt from the moda bake shop and I'm not sure whether to make more blocks to make it bigger or add a border or 2.
What are your thoughts? Thanks

Boarders go on 50% of my quilts. I would not put one on zippy.

I just looked at photographs of mine and I see that about 80% of them have borders. Most of the patterns I do seem to "ask" for them. I like the way they frame up the main body of the quilt. As AVFD215 said, putting some fabric next to it will help you decide.

I've been skipping borders on the majority of my quilts lately... Somehow I've just come to realize they don't always add to the look of the quilt, and I'm always left wondering how to quilt that big blank space anyway. I kinda like the look of quilts minus borders.
