it depends on the size of the blocks...the border should be in proportion with the rest of the quilt so it looks balanced. you may want to add a 4 1/2" to a 9" so you will be adding 13" per side...if that is enough, or some other combination of multiple borders to make it look more balanced than one big plain border.

I ended up making the last border 8". It looks great. Thank you everyone for all you suggestions. It is a good thing I decided to do 8" because I would have run out of fabric if i had cut 10 1/2 inch strips. I have never posted a picture but will try to when it is finished.
