If it is making you very unhappy, then you may not be motivated to finish your quilt. I am getting the feeling that you would like the stars to stand out more from the background. You could take a narrow navy (or dark blue-- it's hard to tell which shade you already have since computer monitors differ) ribbon or the narrowest bias tape and topstitch it at the outside edge of your stars (butting up to, but not on, your stars).
That would make the stars "pop". Then, a narrow navy (dark blue) border, a slightly wider border that co-ordinates with your prints, and a navy binding would pull everything together.
