Good advice given. Something to add... The problem with this pattern and a lot of MSQC patterns is the bias, either on the edge or with blocks and units. I recently worked on a quilt for a friend made by this same pattern. I very carefully trimmed away the edges of the blocks and then stay stay stitched all around the perimeter of the quilt before I quilted it. She did not use borders but the same thing can be done before attaching borders.
