Very modern! I did a D9P without borders and another little 9-patch baby quilt without borders.
And I have an old Mennonite quilt from Ontario which is all wild little nine-patches and scrappy which as no borders.

I'm really loving quilts without borders right now! I made this scrappy one as a gift for our dog groomer. I didn't put a binding on it either.

Just an FYI. When doing quilts without borders and taking it to a longarmer it is helpful to stay stitch 1/8" from the edge. This will prevent your stitching coming undone, if you haven't back stitched at the beginning and end of each row, as we manipulate your quilt top.

I have a no border quilt that I carry around in my car as an emergency, picnic, cold day on the bleachers quilt. I looks terrific without any border. Just wall to wall 2 inch scrappy squares!

I make ALL my quilts without borders. Just am disable and old so I want to keep things simple. Just add the number of blocks to get the size of the quilt you want to make.

I used the birthing method on it. I liked the look of the quilt blocks going completely to the edge.Originally Posted by Kitty10628

I prefer borders on my quilts, they seem finished to me with borders. They won't get wobbly or wonky if they are measured the right way. Just what I do for my quilts.
Your quilt your way, no right way to do anything.
