I would give her the qult -- perhaps for her daughter, but then, without making too big a deal out of it, mentin from time to time, how your quilting is going. She may have no idea how much is involved in making a quilt. When she says, "What's new?", you might talk about how you just got a great , idea/deal/new pattern/stash buster, etc.
She might be facinated or she might not be, but you will have given her an idea of what you put into a qult and perhaps build an appreciation for the art form.
