I haven't read that discussion but a well known quilter living near me always/or most of the time, "frames" her quilt with a black or dark tone border and then puts a co-ordinating border one. Following her I use a 1.5" border, finished 1" and then a wider border, quite often 3" - 4" depending on the size block, it really enhances the quilt IMO.
This is a recent scrappy D9P with a framed 1" border and a 3" till roll border.
