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.

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!

That's my honest opinion
