I do it all the time - here in one quilt that I posted here on the site. I did put a small border around the entire thing to frame it

Absolutely, it is your quilt and you can do anything you want. I do this all the time. Lovely quilt by the way

My favorite quilting rule, "Your quilt, your rule".

I agree with AZ Jane. It will be fine. I make pillow covers for quilts I keep for myself.
I have made quilts like that before, no borders at the top or maybe a thin border.

Make sense....who sees what's under the pillows anyway.

I have seen quilts with no border on one edge. If the quilt is used as a comforter, the no border edge can be the edge that is placed at the head of the bed.

I've done the same thing. It made the design show up better on the bed. Perfectly acceptable and desirable if the quilt shows better that way.

you are making the quilt - you can make it any way you want! And if you are putting it on a bed with pillows over the top, no one would even know it wasn't the original plan.

Totally acceptable !! Go for it.

Thank you for your question. I have a quilt top that I put 3 borders on but have the top to go and misplaced it so after reading the thoughts and opinions here I will get the backing put together and get it quilted.
