Change the block for something more muted.

Speaking of "upside-down", why isn't there a solution for this??? It is so annoying and my mind simply can't adjust to trying to make it right.

Cute quilt top. I would take that one out and also have all the blocks have a border on them. I love the compass block.

There is no right or wrong answer as long as it holds together and you're happy.
If it was mine, I would want borders on all the blocks and the green and red trees block does jump out at me. I had to look again to see the other two blocks without borders.

Is the intended recipient likely to care?

I agree with Tartan, the background green is wrong for the rest of your greens. Very pretty quilt.

Yes, I'd change it. The green isn't the same as the others.

Yes, I agree. Maybe it is the lack of a frame that is throwing off the design.

IMHO, I'd either "border" it (like your other blocks are) or leave it out completely. Love the top!

If the colors are showing true, and that block is indeed brighter and more "Christmassy" in tone, I think I would also change it out.

As for having the three blocks that are not square in a square, I am good with that, as I like a little change up here and there in my quilts sometimes. I might separate the two that are touching a little more though.

v I do believe that it will all be well once you have quilted it and washed it a few times. When in doubt, I find it best to either add more of the questionable fabric, or remove it. Howsomeever, I find your composition to be quite pleasant and acceptable as photographed and needing no revisions.
