Quilts do not always have to have borders. Too bad you had to "unsew" those blocks. I like to make my quilts a little larger - my first king size quilt was 110 x 110", as I wanted some of the quilt as my DH was a quilt hog. LOL. Also when asked to make a quilt for our DGD my DS and DDIL said she was getting a twin size bed. Well, fast forward to a month or two after finishing the quilt top (I had to take a break as I had shoulder surgery and couldn't quilt it), they changed their minds and put her into a full size bed. Imagine my joy when I measured the quilt, which already had border put on that it really was a full size bed, good thing as I was just finishing putting the binding on before we left to give it to her on Christmas Eve.
