Thank you all for your invaluable expertise and input. I will carefully consider each option and if I still think it's ugly, I'll send it to someone who will love it. I don't mind putting in the work, and I WISH I was young enough not to remember when draperies and sofas were made in the big floral patterns, but this just didn't work for me. I'll repost when I have decided on a solution and finished the borders. As for the quilting aspect, that's unfortunately something I don't do at home. As my good friend and class instructor says, "I quilt by check." I was already considering the red/rose colors and also red and yellow. You can't really see the yellow in the photo, but there is a beautiful shade of buttery yellow in the florals. I'll keep the faith and forge ahead. Thanks for your kind words, I don't feel like it's quite so hopeless now. :^)
