Yes you need it. It does make a differance.

That really makes the colors POP!!! WOW! :thumbup:

I love putting a narrow border before putting the larger one on as IMO it "frames" the quilt, your choice is perfect for such a lovely quilt.

One teacher I had somewhere along the way referred to that small border as a "popper" and that is exactly what it does on this quilt. Nice job.
