Go ahead and finish it. She will love it (and so will we if you post the picture!). It sounds exquisite and she sounds like the kind of girl who will give you just the response that we all love to get when we have finished a project.

I think this is what I would do if it were me...
I would just simply explain the entire thing to her, ask her if she has a preference, and go with that. Explain that if she prefers the quilt in her colors it will be finished later than the date you had planned on completion.
There is a lot of money and your time involved either way, so may be make what she likes best?

What beautiful work. Finish it. Take pictures. Give it with the love you obviously feel for this young woman.

Thanks for the encouragement! You are right, she is such a sweetheart (really! Like one of my own kids!) She was just so excited about a beach tote I made her last year, that I know that she will appreciate this one too, just needed some encouragement.
Oh, I can show you the pics when it was about 2/3 of the way pieced, before the borders. Will post the finished top, probably tomorrow. Thanks for the interest. (Colors are richer than they appear in pic...camera seems to wash things out. Pardon my messy room...everything has been taking a back seat since I have been working on this :oops: )

It could be that she was just being polite and encouraging you since she is speaking so highly of another quilt. Finish what your doing, your daughter told you that she loves water/ocean. The person recieving this quilt will love it. If you don't have anything planned in your near future, you might ask her if she would enjoy a rag quilt as well, get colors and away you go

I suspect your beautiful quilt will give her an excuse to redecorate her (um, their) bedroom. Besides, a coat of paint and drapes are nothing compared to the work, time & $ you've invested.
Just do it!
Just do it!
