Exactly; she's seen too many Antiques Road Show programs where people are distraught that they "destroyed" heirloom furniture by repairing making it useful...
These squares have no significant monetary value, as far as I can tell--they were very very common and are worked up nicely, but there's nothing extraordinary about them. I hope I can convince her that as a quilt, they will be infinitely more valuable in emotions and memories than they'll ever be monetarily.
Thanks, everyone!
