Default Postage Stamp Quilt top

Hello Everyone. I am working on a postage stamp quilt. I saw one in the latest LL Bean catalog and it inspired me. I'm making it in bright white-on-white, with shades of blue, aqua, green, lavender and peach/coral. I really like the way it's coming together but it's going to be a long term project as it gets kind of boring and tedious if I spent too much time on it.

My question is, for anyone that may have made a postage stamp quilt, did you sew any kind of boarder onto it or did you just bind it when you were finished piecing? I'm thinking just an extremely narrow boarder, picking up one of the fabrics used in the top or eventually matching the back, might add to the durability of the quilt? I'd sure appreciate your suggestions and input. Thanks.
