I like the navy and don't make it too wide, maybe 3 inches. That's my humble opinion.

All that beautiful quilt needs is a binding.

I agree. Try the black or the navy as the binding and see if you like that look.

whatever you decide don't let it be the same color as the edge is now.... is this the finished size? maybe another color than blue.. green, red, purple or something to make it pop.. otherwise if this is the finished size, leave it as it is .. love your colors and the design.. great work

Gale...that's a great quilt, I love the navy border but that's just me. Is it for one of the grands?

If you put another border on, you lose the charm of the buzz block in the border. I'd leave it.

I love the pattern and colors of your quilt, but I think a black border would detract from it, not add anything. I think it would look like you ran out of blue and used black.

My vote would be for the navy. Probably thinner and perhaps just the binding.

Great quilt. I think a small black or dark navy would frame it nicely.
