Well, from your post I saw that you mentioned that she does nice work and is reasonable on her pricing since you both are guild members, but she is also inconsiderate of deadlines. You've already called her out three times on her lack of returning your quilts on time, so I think in this case, you have to decide which is more important to you, time or money. If saving money on her quilting is truly a priority, then you have to accept her tardiness. If it's just too irritating or stressful for you, then I'd find another LAQ who will be more professional.
Having said that, if it were me and I decided to stick with this woman for financial reasons, then I would make sure to get my quilts to her long before I actually needed them when possible. Still ask for the 1 month deadline, but only you will know that you don't really need it for two months.
