She balks and is rude to you, in your opinion (we cannot hear her tone of voice remember, it could easily have been sarcasm).
Now you are confiscating her quilt, plan to sell it and keep the proceeds for yourself.
Is that all a friendship is worth to you? Nine hours of doing something that you say you love to do anyway?
Return it to her, as is, and chalk it up to experience. All you have lost is time. Never again do business with someone before you have a written agreement in hand.
I must agree, I can understand the hurt and frustration on the broken agreement, but if you have not been out any money on it I would return it and not agree to do anything else for her.
That is what I was thinking. She started it, she must have bought some of the materials. If you are wanting some kind of payment for work/labor done, take her to small claims court.
