This happened to me once. I have a very dear friend who asked me to make a quilt for her. I agreed and she picked out a quilt with my least favroite colors. I had a hard time at the beginning but as I worked with I began to get used to it. In fact I almost liked it when I was finished.
So if she likes it make it and enjoy the process.

I love it. Batiks are so pretty and when cut you never know how they are going to look. I think it will be a beautiful quilt. Keep on going.

Its great Border each block in a dominant colour. You are stuck with it that why I do not make quilts for people and let them choose their colours etc I got caught like that once and hated doing it but had to. LIve and learn I make a quilt now and if they like it they but it. Carmen Australia

I think it is gorgeous! I think when you get a few together and see what it will look like, you will change your mind. Just remember, this isn't for you. It is what your sister wants, and that is what is important. Last year I was asked to make some vests for a very large lady. She got the fabric and it was UGLY, but she was thrilled with them and that is all that matters. I threw all the leftover scraps in the trash so I didn't have to look at them again.

I, too, think it's gorgeous. Those are today's colors. I think it will be beyond beautiful.

I have that pattern plus the DVD haven't done anything with it yet but now that I've seen yours, I absolutely love your block far more than the original colors in the book. I think it's beautiful :)

I love the block. I think when you get more done & put together you will like it better.
