OMG - that almost sounds like something that my DH might say because his "sainted" mother made quilts for all of her 10 children - during the depression and quilted them all by hand. He went with me to a small quilt show once and loudly said that he "hated" the quilt on the wall because it had that "stupid" border on it. I have many of Grandma's quilts and none of them had any borders on them. At the end of her life, she moved to town to a little 4 room house and had one of those hand quilting frames that hung from the ceiling of her tiny living room on ropes and she had to "roll up" the ropes so that we could come in the door and we would have to sit underneath her latest quilt when we visited her. I actually have her 4 wooden rails that she used - still unused here - guess that I am too lazy!!!
