Narrow border size?
What is the narrowest border you could get away with using? I won a bunch of blocks (ornaments, really cute) and made the top but the top is now quite big. Larger than I really want but just by a few inches. It needs a border but since it is so large already I don't want a wide border. So what is the narrowest border that you would recommend using that would still look good? I am partial to a wide border so I have no clue about a narrow one. Thanks for your opinions.

This is what I was going to say. I hardly ever put a border on a quilt anymore, I like the look without them.

I agree with skipping the border. Can you do a really wide binding and get the same effect? We have done bindings that start with 3.5" strips and they look very nice. This quilt has a 3.5" binding: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...n-t197709.html
