A teacher a my LQS told me this after I had gotten serious about trying to learn to quilt again. I showed her a couple tops I had made and what I thought I might want for quilting( even tho the quilt police wouldn't have approved.) She told me "It's your quilt. Do what you want to do." It's made it much more enjoyable for me and the "pressure" is gone. Anyway, I use bindings & borders that "fit my quilt."
