My honest opinion is that if that piece were mine, I'd have to find a different border for it. If you keep it, that strip will drive you crazy, and if you're going to give it away, the recipient may not think it looks as good as it could have had you used all of the same fabric.
Yeah, I'm too OCD to live with that wonky plaid. But that's just me. And really, some people love that vibe. If it doesn't bother you, then I'd leave it.
Edited to say that I hadn't seen your replacement option when I wrote above. I like the red very much! Congrats!

Sorry to say it, but were it me, I'd have to change it. With a plaid that large it bothers me that none of the segments line up, so I'd have to go with a different fabric altogether.
Of course, having said that, all that really matters is whether or not you can live with it. From you asking for opinions, I'm thinking not. and hugs!
Now of course, I see you changed it to the red print which is great! Well done!!

The piecing on the left side doesn't bother me, but the one on the right hand side where that last small piece is not on grain with the rest of that piece would bother me.
Then again most of the world doesn't have a clue. There was a teenager in church on Sunday with pants with big flowery stripes. The design on one leg vs. the other had a 10" different in stripe.
