I have a sneakin suspicion that whoever "tossed" you the kit knew the kit maker and figured that you would turn on your heels and head home (which you did). Your guild mate - at least temporarily - escaped having to explain substandard workmanship. Sounds like you rose to the occasion and fixed the mess.
The person who turned in the mess may just be a beginning quilter who believes that the work is OK. She (or he) may not have a QB to lean on or may not really care.
The only good news is that you learned a lot from this - the least being: If someone tosses you something - lob it back. Aim for their head. Kidding!!!
