Definitely call her and have an honest conversation about the problems you are facing and what needs done so the quilt finishes nicely. Do discuss pricing and if you feel that she doesn't want to pay the extra, offer to give it back so she could maybe find someone else. Customers don't always understand just how badly it will affect the quilt when they don't keep to a 1/4" seam! I know exactly those problems having just finished one my mother made many years ago....extra fabric, skimpy seams, huge seams, just a big mess. Took me forever to just decide on how to quilt it! You might want to add an extra layer of batting, to puff up into the areas of extra fabric. Maybe the old saying "less is more" would be a very good thing for this quilt? Good Luck!
