I'm struggling with this too. I think what pleases my eye is a dark border framing the piecing, then a light border, but twice the framing border and then a substantial border. If the innermost dark border is 1 3/4 inches cut and finish at 1 1/4 inch, then the lighter border next should be 3 1/2 inches cut and 3 inches finished, then the outermost one would be between 6 and 8 depending on how big the quilt is supposed to be.
But that's my opinion.
