With a dragging action you might be able to blend into the existing random pattern. Or use a clumped rag?
The rollers seem to give only a consistent pattern.

I'm liking Easy Sand 45(min dry) for blending.
It is dry but you can control the mix after stirring in a 14" tray (with 2" knife) and waiting a few for absorption.
Knock off the surrounding and do a layer at a time w/dry time until flush. Should be almost no sanding.
that's what it looks like.

unfortunately I am the one to blame for whats been done.
I removed a bad fire place a few years ago and put up sheetrock on the one wall.
I started to mud it but then stopped when I hit the wall of how to finish.
yes I taped the corner but not the part on the ceiling yet.

there was paneling on the rest of the room.
I just pulled all that out and put up sheetrock and just finished all of that, now back to this mess.

I may practice "texturing" on some spare sheetrock I have.
