I vote for the dark(est) HST blocks all around the top.
Toss out your lightest darks and don't use them in the border.
It's a really subtle effect, but it works.
No lights in the border.
If you absolutely can't muster up any enthusiasm for one more HST block, then a border of your darkest blue all around.
The dark will make all the lights in the center sparkle.

I just had three quilting friends stop by and got a great idea. I think I will try it.
Narrow very light blue pleat followed by a narrow dark blue border followed by a wider light blue border. I have to dig through my fabric and see what I have enough of for this.
