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.

OK let me clear THIS air. She insisted that I keep the quilt. She TOLD me to try and sell it, if I do actually sell it I will send her $$ she paid for the shipping. No! honey, friendship is worth a LOT more then that. Rude ~ yes, sarcasm ~ no.
I don't normally do business with friends because 90% of my friends quilt....
With more information, I have changed my mind. You have a right to do anything you want. As for postage, forget it! I wouldn't give it to her. She can learn her lesson, as well as you have learned yours. Call it storage fees.
