If I am planning on using a quilt as a bedspread, I make pillow shams and don't put a top border. If I am planning on using it as a blanket under a bedspread, I put borders on all 4 sides.

I get the ends of rolls of the paper used in doctor's offices to cover the exam tables. It doesn't go through the printer, but is thin, easy to use, and free.
