In all honesty, I was probably that mom a few years ago, before I started quilting. My daughter has a beautiful Pottery Barn bed set and rug that all match, that I spent waaaaay too much money on. She sleeps in her brothers room. :P I plan on making her a quilt in the coming year and I'm betting someday she will still have and love the quilt I make her, but that Pottery Barn bedset will be looooong gone. :) Make your neice/nephew a quilt to give in a few years and I bet they'll love it!
