I agree with everyone else. The quilt is beautiful and a dark blue border would make it pop!

Narrow navy blue strip to contain the colors, then a wide border of the blue mid tone paisley.

Love this quilt..how about something in a different direction? I would take it with me to the quilt shop to see if the I could find these colors in a print that would tie it all together. You might be surprised!

If you have any dark blue left for binding, bind it. If not, find some that is close. Good luck. It will be beautiful whatever you do.

I have a tendency to use the fabric I have used least in the quilt in the border to make it 'pop' more.
