I seldom do anything the way the designer does it. I figure they're only for inspiration and I'll go on from there and make it my own. If you want 1 border, 2 borders or more it won't matter. Do what you want to, do what ever it takes to make you happy with your creation---the designer is already happy with hers. ;) of course this is just my opinion. My other opinion is that your quilt is really pretty.
