Nothing wrong with your quilting which is great, IMHO. It would look odd to have the center of the quilt with stitching and the borders without, so go for it! Share again when done...you know we're your best cheering section!

On some of mine if I can't think of how to quilt the border I just go right up the center with one of the pretty stitches on my machine. One I did not care for but the others turned out really nice.
