Very modern! I did a D9P without borders and another little 9-patch baby quilt without borders.
And I have an old Mennonite quilt from Ontario which is all wild little nine-patches and scrappy which as no borders.

Just an FYI. When doing quilts without borders and taking it to a longarmer it is helpful to stay stitch 1/8" from the edge. This will prevent your stitching coming undone, if you haven't back stitched at the beginning and end of each row, as we manipulate your quilt top.

Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts designs all her quilts without borders. Her book is titled Skip the Borders.

I prefer borders on my quilts, they seem finished to me with borders. They won't get wobbly or wonky if they are measured the right way. Just what I do for my quilts.
Your quilt your way, no right way to do anything.
