I think I would just try and quilt it like it is and donate it if you don't want to give it to someone like it is. I for one think it is darling and would love to be the recipient of any "wonky" quilt that someone made for me. Afterall, isn't it the thought that counts?
It is funny. I have been quilting over 10 years. I have never followed the 'alternate' sewing direction and never had a problem. I typically find that wonkiness like this has more to do with pressing that the direction of sewing.
