Welcome to the Quilting Board!

I agree about the border It doesn't go with the dresden IMHO
I love it!!!!!!
Replace the blue bird part with different fabric.... use red inner border. then maybe a dresden like border of the center fabric?
The dresden of all one fabric and the double green/blue border are the issues for me.
Sorry, but you asked for honest opinions.
I have a few UFOs that somehow worked much better as WHIMS rather than for real.
I would just use the dresden for a quilt and solid or splotchy fabrics for the borders. Use the rest for another quilt or whatever. I like everything, just not together. I hope not to hurt your feelings.

This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
JMHO, I would take off the outer border and use it in another project. As for the embroidered fabric, I would use that in another project too. I think it would make a really pretty table runner!! I would want to keep the focus on your dresden plate. Nice job!
honestly, the border does not fit in any way, a solid color maybe?
The Border is nice, but NOT for the Dresden. The Dresden is lovely but the border overpowers it.
I love the center & first border. Just not liking the next two (blue/green) borders,
