I'd use the panel as is! My grandchildren loved color more than organization at three -- and a bright panel was just as loved as something I had "created". As they got older, of course I made more 'personal' quilts for them.

You might make one narrow "stopper" border of white or black, then a border of random lengths of strips of fabric similiar to colors in this panel. A piano key border would work well, too.

Since it is for a 3 yr old. And you have all these letters, I would cut them up and have them spell out the childs name.
Kids love their name. There are so many ways you could arrange the letters with sashing to creat a block with their name in it. It could be the focal point of the quilt. Then with the rest of the fabric you can cut it up for blocks, so none is wasted
