The borders drop over the sides but if it had a border on the top, the pieced part wouldn't fit perfectly on the bed anymore! I am totally inspired by your work and this quilt is beautiful! I can't wait to see how you decide to finish it!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097584619052137867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-86207446560703839672008-12-04T16:03:00.000-05:002008-12-04T16:03:00.000-05:00I know you didn't ask for an opinion but for me I ...I know you didn't ask for an opinion but for me I would just bind it - it is gorgeous.<BR/><BR/>I love the stories that go with your quilts with each one you reveal something baout you or where you have been and the people whose lives you've touched or have touched yours.

I can't stand to have quilts *almost* done so my goal is to finish those up.<BR/><BR/>I love quilts without borders or that just have sashed borders like this one. I'll put a border on to a quilt that needs framing or needs to be a bit bigger but otherwise I'm happy without them.
