Think of the person you are making the quilt for and share in her joy. Count this as a learning experence for yourself.Sometimes it is hard to say not to someone but then if they are a true friend they will understand. My husband and I met at work, he still works their but I do not any more. He gave me the biggest laught the other day. A woman who was not very nice to me while I worked their is now a supervisor and she asked hubby if I would do some sewing for her now that I am home and have plenty of time. I asked my husband if she was joking with him and he said nope. Sometimes it is easy to say no. The sooner you get this project done you can get on with other things you like more. Good luck.
