I don't see anything wrong with the result of that code. Keep in mind that the 
border width is not added to the Rectangle's width. This means that since you 
don't specify any spacing on the Column, the rectangles will be drawn 
overlapping. Adding spacing equal to the border width would allow the full 
borders to be shown.
