This is beautiful. If you are just plain tired of it, go with the suggestion of 9 inch dark all around it. It will make the center pop. Lay it out and see how it looks. In my mind it looks petty good. :)

However....I also like your narrow light blue and then dark blue...

Try all kinds of things. One will "speak to you," or at least that is the phrase my sister always uses at me. :)

My vote is for the darker border. Does not detract from the design!

Time to go with the borders now. They will give it a very polished look.

To the borders I would go, to the borders I would go, Hi ho the dairyo, to the borders I would go. I like the light and dark ones together.

Don't get discouraged NOW, it's a beautiful start to a beautiful quilt. Set it aside for a while, it's worth finishing nicely not just to get finished.
