I agree with Tartan, finish it up and don’t say a word about the pointlessness of it. It will be a beautiful quilt regardless, and your nephew will love it all the same! I hate it when something like that happens to a quilt that I am making for all the right reasons and it doesn’t seem to measure up as I would have liked. Having a little more expensive under my belt now, I realize more and more that people could care less about our perceived imperfections, they are just thrilled to be a recipient of something that I have made just for them.
