Well, it's not exactly fair to try to elicit an opinion when she didn't think it was for her. I KNOW it's not fun to realize that someone isn't thrilled with your choices - guess HOW I know!!:). Finish the quilt and give it to an "old granny" friend(or keep it) and make her the quilt she wants. I can't aniticipate what my kids or nieces or nephews will want, so if you want to be sure the quilt receipient will LOVE your quilt - you'll have to ask what they like!
