Default Rule of thumb for border widths?

I tried googling this topic, but I must not be using the correct terminology! Quilt top is log cabins, blocks are 9" finished, with 3/4" finished logs. Size is 54x81". I want to add a narrow "stop" border, and then a wider border and binding.
Thinking of 1 1/4" finished stop border and 3" finished border, with the usual binding-I cut 2" strips, press in half machine stitch to front, turn it and hand stitch to back. Do these border proportions sound ok? Is there a site that might help me determine this? Thanks, and Happy Easter!
