OH NO DO NOT GIVE IT AWAY. It doesn't matter if it matches anything in your house or not, just think of the love it took for your dh to go and find it for you, you must keep it and put it somewhere you can always see it, just remember that you want always have him around, but you will have that beautiful panel that he bought for you to always look at. I know how it is to be in pain all the time, I am that way myself and there is no help for me, so I will just have to live with it, but it sure is hard to do. I am really glad that you are feeling better. Take care and I hope that you will have a lot more days pain free. Hugs.

A quilt is like a Persian run--it will go with any other decor! Keep the beautiful gift your DH gave you and proudly show it off in your home.

The border on the fabric panel matches your carpet...so it's close enough and I'd keep it and NOT give that one away, after all it was a wonderful gesture from your husband....so you must keep it. I love it! Faith and Prayer gets us through as HE is faithful to us. I think it's a fabulous panel.
Blessings,

That's what I've been thinking, too. With the orange border off, the panel is fairly neutral. By picking a color (or colors) from the piece and your decor, I'll bet you'll end up with something that's perfect for you and your home. Your hubby's a real sweetheart.

I'd make it into a wall hanging and keep it for myself!

If you don't want to hang it make a lap quilt and use it in th car. Or when you are sitting by him.

Keep it. Hang it anywhere in the house. Nothing is a match for God.

Oh yes, please keep it and display it! What calmness it will bring to your heart. Had I received such a personal panel from DH, I would hang it in our bedroom where we could experience its blessings the first thing in the morning and the last thing in the evening.

As everyone else says :- DON'T GIVE IT AWAY.

Something given with so much LOVE
Must be kept with same amount of LOVE

As someone said put it in your sewing room and get the warm fuzzies when you look at it.
