The wider borders won't be boring if you do a lot of quilting in them :thumbup:
I agree 100%. Think of the wider borders as a matting and frame on a picture. Just as a well done matting and frame enhance a picture, the wider borders will enhance and actually show off your quilt. BTW, love the pieced border.
