    How about a piano border with a new dark blue and the light blue and paisley you already have...

    I too vote for a paisley border. What is your backing material?
    The backing a dark navy blue...

    The dark navy blue to match the backing would work as well. I think I see some navy in the paisley and a navy border would make the paisley pop. Let us see the finished quilt once you decide and complete it. Very pretty!!

    Pretty quilt, use 2 or 3 of the other blues and piece a ribbin border. I love ribbin borders.

    What's the name of the pattern. I'm picturing it in orange and I don't know why!!!

    The quilt is beautiful! If you have the brand of the fabric and the number and enough time, you could probably find an exact match on the web.

    If you have enough of the blue paisley, I'd use that for the border. Otherwise, find another dark blue fabric, not a solid but maybe a small print.

    How about a narrow border of the dark blue or even white, then add a wider border of your lighter blue if you have enough.
