Did you check on line? so a search for either fabric maker or fabric name. You can even search Ebay or Etsy for it. Also I was taught not to use a fabric from the main quilt top for a border since same fabric will draw your eye to that fabric in the quilt and make it stand out detracting from the others.

Beautiful quilt. If you can't get the dark blue, I would go with the paisley.
