Gorgeous quilt! One of the patterns on my "must do" list.
I'd go with a dark blue thin border to set off the center. Then a medium light blue border. Do you have enough to do a border in your sashing pattern? That between two dark thin borders would be lovely.

What shows up here as dark blue is actually a dark purple. I only have 1/2 yd of that left, but did see that Joanns still had some of that the other day. I have 1 yd each of the blue/purple stripe and white tone on tone. I bought all of these fabrics over 7 yrs ago, should still be able to find the white. But doubtful I can find the blue/purple stripe. Thanks for all the compliments, it has been in my UFO pile for a long time.

Lovely quilt!!
I vote for a small dark blue piping (withouth cording) as close to your dark blue as possible to make the pattern pop. Number 2 looks like it is a teal that pulls out the color in the blocks, so that would be a good next border. Lastly, I would do more dark blue for the final border and binding. A good rule of thumb is to go from narrow to wide with the borders.
