Borders

I asked the Livejournal quilting group (the link is a couple of entries down, in the list) about the border issue and they have been a font of opinions, which is exactly what I was looking for. The consensus seems to be, something fairly simple, like a narrow border and then a wide border, and 4 leaf blocks in the corners. I like that a lot and it hadn't occurred to me (the part about the leaves in the corners, I mean). There is not much consensus on what should be in the wide part of the border - some people think background fabric, but others disagree. Chinese coins were mentioned. I'm still thinking that part over, myself.
