Beautiful quilt, and who would know better than another 12-year-old what colors the friend would like?

That's a lovely quilt and she should be very proud. I have to laugh though. So many of us who are "experienced" are so afraid of FMQ. Good for her for jumping right in. And the applique solution to fix an "error" actually adds a lot to the quilt. I think they call that making lemonade.
