Before you go over the edge, try a few things, first I would try to steam press it, start with a small area and see whet happens, if not helping, try running it through your washer and then drying it by draping it over some chairs in area, that is shaded, I put plastic bags over the backs of several chairs and hung my quilt between and over them, it helped, from what I can see it doesn't look nearly as bad as you think, by the way, why did you wash it before gifting it to her anyway, I never wash them first
