By all means ask how much longer & if you don't want to wait...I'll call around.
She should have told you how long she was backed up when you dropped it off.
My SIL had a similar experience. She dropped off her quilt top last December and it was not ready until this June. She called the quilter a couple of times during those 6 months and suggested to the quilter that she would pick up the top and take it elsewhere. Each time, the quilter apologized and said she would get to it soon. My SIL had no idea it would take that long. In the end, the quilting was really quite beautiful, and the price was reasonable (not cheap, not too pricey).
I have had good luck with LA I use around here. She always lets me know when the quilt will be finished and does not disappoint.
I think keeping a quilt 3 to 6 months is unreasonable.
