Kind of same thing happened to me with a OBW.Just glad I didn't cut up all that fabric & feel obligated to finish it.I have maybe 20 hexagons,but that's very few compared to the amt of fabric I have for it.
I find it very hard to work with unloved fabric....or colors that do nothing for me.
I'd like to try the WW quilt,so haven't any advice for you.Maybe just keep in mind, there's one gift done & bet she will love it.
