In the Pic it looks beautiful there on your Rasberry rug.. so I would keep it.. it matches.. and if it doesn't who cares, the gesture.. thoughfullness.. behind it.. who would appreciate it more? you.. its a wonderful panel.. my vote is to keep it.

I agree with the masses. Whatever you do you cannot give it away. If your DH doesn't know a thing about sewing, it took a lot for him to go an pick it out for you. I think changing the border to something that will blend with what you have it an excellent idea. You could hang it or quilt it for a small lap quilt to take to church or use when you are taking a sewing break watching TV or on the computer.

After studying that panel for a while I'm thinking you could take the gold off and replace with a lovely sage and it would be a very good fit. If you know the color you're going to use on the walls, get a shade a few "dips" darker and put a solid border around it, then you can pull colors out of your room and the panel and piece rounds to put around it like they do for the "round robin" quilts.. it would make a lovely lap quilt. I'll bet it would please your husband soo much to know that he may not speak "sewing" fluently, but you understood him perfectly.
