IMHO, I would finish the quilt and give it to him regardless of the circumstance. You still love him and this could show him how much he is thought of no matter what.

After a conversation about this quilt him, another quilt will just be a replacement quilt holding the same pain.
I would not talk to him about it, just make give and have peace with what happened. Jarenie @ post 33 has a good grasp on this situation.
He is a marine and should be supported as such.
peace
