I wouldn't have a clue how to do piping on a quilt...nor quite frankly do I want to.....the quilt is beautiful as it is and I would NOT under any circumstances change it.....if it's a queen size quilt, that border section will hang down on the bed and will not be so noticeable as it is laying flat...I'm a firm believer that what is done is done...we could obsess over and over on a quilt.....IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND IT'S DONE!!
