I will add some pictures tomorrow. i wanted to today but got lost in front of the machine making pillowcases for the extra pillows on my bed. Now tomorrow I am going to finish the last three and make a roll pillow with the fabric that is left over for under my knees. I have a bad back so sleeping with a special pillow should help a bit.
Thank you for all the opinions, I thunk the quilt is big enough without borders since it covers a twin size bed and ever so slightly drapes over the edges, I will look at it again tomorrow when I take pictures, it is hanging in the closet right now.

All depends on the quilt and what you like. I have many quilts without borders, a few with pieced borders. Many quilts I do an inner and an outer border, the inner sort of like the matting on a picture frame.

Ok, I finally had some time to go into the closet and pull out the bargello to take pictures of it. Here it is laid out on a king size bed, the next time I decide to make one I am going to make sure that I have enough material to probably double the size, depending on the pattern. I would like to make one large enough to drape slightly past the top mattress of a king size bed and have enough to do the pillow tuck. Than I will make an accompanying dust ruffle to cover the box springs. Ok, here it is, if I decide on a border I think I am going to go with a solid ivory and than perhaps do some needleturn applique in batiks.
Enjoy...

Thanks Humbird, I think the only reason I want to do a border on here is to 'even' it out. To me it's a really odd size, too big to be a throw quilt yet not big enough to really be a quilt for a bed. I might be able to get away with it on the twin bed in the spare bedroom without putting borders on. I guess once I clean the spare room out I will see how it lays on the twin bed. If it looks good on there without borders than that's where it will be used since that bed doesn't have a comforter or bed cover on it.
