I agree

I'm not too sure about adding a second dark blue border since I have a narrow border to match the sashing. Maybe it would look like an afterthought
You all have such wonderful idea, thanks for you help.

I think the light blue.

I agree

Me too! From your three options, I seem to be the only one to choose number one. It's a colour that's present in the "plates". I would just make it very very thin.

I belive if you pick a tanish color to accent the shade in the center of each you might be please.
You could also add a small blue boarder after you added the brownish boarder

Well, maybe I'm odd. But, I would randomly piece leftover (if you have any) Kaleidoscope fabric together and put a border of that on and then put on the final border wider than the pieced one of the navy already in the quilt. Also would use the navy as the binding. Just my thought.

Don't like the white, too stark. Don't like the light blue, doesn't look like it matches. Like the wide dark blue, but seem like it needs something else.
