I just noticed that you are from CR, IA. I am in Solon. It's nice to see others in my area.
As far as I have been told regarding valuation of quilts:
As far as the value of the quilt: Were you ever intending that the quilt be sold? If so, then yes the value of the quilt for reasons previously stated has been reduced. But if the intent is to keep the quilt in the family and pass it down through the generations, then I would say that the value has not decreased by finishing it.
The only option to not finishing it for her to see and enjoy would have been to use it as a wall hanging in the "finished" state it was in when you received it.
