I can share one of my projects. This is 'Nabby's Dowry' - a quilt along with Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts. Rather than adding a border, I made my setting triangles larger so it floated the design.
A lot of stitch in the ditch, each surround block had a little button added to the centers, and then a few echo rows around the piece.
