Who said THAT? Come on out into the light and say that into my face. Yeah, to me. Oh, you and what army of quilt police??
Hey, it's YOUR quilt, if you want a border 10 inches wide, go for it. If you want a border the quilt police would have to see with a microscope, go for it. It's your quilt, make it fun and pretty. If you aren't having fun making these lovely works of art, then you won't be working at your best.
