Not all quilts need to be bright and bold.
I too like the insipid washed out look as you called it ... I'd call it soft, subtle and subdued.
Nothing wrong with that!
I wouldn't make any changes without the other person knowing ... or she may be totally disappointed when you deliver it to her.
And maybe, just maybe ... the way it is now, is exactly what she wants!

The original colors would not be right for me; I would be bored to death before the top was finished. But --- those fabrics might be right for the recipient. I think you could probably use different fabrics in the same family (not darker, just different patterns) to add more interest. You may be trying to make it into a bolder quilt, but all that it really needs IMHO is more variety. But the first thing I would do is show it to the recipient and gets his/her opinion.
