I sometimes make a wide piano key border on my scrappy quilts. You could then do a pinwheel corner stone. Then a Final solid border to make up your inches.

Pretty top! It looks like your pin wheel blocks are about 12 inches. I would just add more of those until it was the size you want.

This is a type of piano border, 10" wide (larger or smaller) + your current border. Love the mauves - and your quilt. You could also make the border with more pinwheels.

This is gorgeous! Since the 15" is going to hang over the side of bed, I'd recommend the piano key or flying geese. You've also got the 9P corner stone you could go with. Perfect set-up for a scalloped edge, too. Just thinking out loud...lol..

If I had more of the fabric used in the quilt, I would add 2 more rows of pinwheels after the pieced border. You will probably have to increase the border width to the size of your pinwheels to have the math come out. I also like Gay's suggestion!
