I would finish it and give it to him, it might not last forever but I'm sure it won't fall apart. When I first began quilting I only had the local Joann's for fabrics and believe me some of the fabrics I used was kind of thin, the batting was cheap and really thin and the quilting was about 12" apart. Made the quilts for my young grandkids and they used them and abused them and after 10 years those quilts are still intact. As I learned more about quilting I began using better fabrics, batting and threads and made the grandkids bigger quilts but those first quilts they love and still use them.
