Default border advice please

You guys are so great about helping those of us who get stuck now and then!! Here is my dilemma: I designed this quilt, and had planned to have a narrow border of the darker burgundy then a wide border of the blue star fabric.
Now I find I don't have enough of the blue for a wide border but could perhaps get a narrow one from it. Do you think having a blue border adjacent to the star will confuse the borders of the star or am I just borrowing trouble?
Would you do the narrow blue border with the matching fabric or perhaps pull in another blue that would go with but not match and use that for the wider outer border?
Or put the wide burgundy first then a narrow blue? I have never put the narrower border on the outside I don't think.
Here is the flimsy for your consideration:
