Now look what some one else did with this panel.

Lovely! I know my girls would love a quilt like this.

I agree lose the pre-printed borders add cream, peach to bring out the ferry wings.
I would leave the green beaded border & the plain green border, removing both the red & ornate black & red borders. This is a Cicely Mary Barker pattern. Growing up, my sister & I had a book of her's with many of her botanic fairies. I still love her work, but I agree that some of the large MM panels are a bit much.

I agree with removing the borders. Once the gold border is gone, the quilt may see lot calmer to you. Or you can go completely out of the box and use the fairies as applique on a completely different quilt. You could still fussy cut several small squares of the poinsettias to include in the new quilt if you choose.

I just love it!
This shade of red is one of my favorites and it fits the whimsy of
the characters.
However, this is not my panel or project.
Just wanted you to consider that the recipient may be ecstatic over
it as it is.
Toning it down and then adding a little more red, maybe applique in
the outer borders sounds delightful to me.
