One inch border, and then a binding?
You may not want to hear this suggestion, but .... I'll give it anyway!
If you like it with the one inch and nothing more .... my suggestion is to take it off and replace it with an extra wide binding. That way your border is all border ..... and no binding! To me it looks much nicer than border plus binding.
Of course, we don't know if this is a wall/art quilt? or a functional one?
Depending on the end purpose, and wash-frequency, you may not want the wide binding without any quilting on it. Though that could be stabilized with some top stitching, if you were concerned.
Here's a wall hanging where I used the wide binding as the border .....
