Sorry, but I'm not seeing the problem.
If she cut it one over, so that A was in the upper left corner, you'd have
AB ABC
DEC
GHF
JKI
.......and so on
Plus you've got Z in the bottom right hand corner.
Where it should be.
But do I love the idea of trapunto-ing all the letters.
I working on something similar.
