OK, this is not my cup of tea, but I don't find it awful. And I have a friend who would adore it. I would use the first border, trim the red since it doesn't go across the bottom and use greens in the panel, as a border to soften it a bit. It's a Christmas panel, enjoy the vibrance

So far that's got my vote. I know some of you will love this panel, so tell me how to soften it and make a pretty quilt from it.
