I think I would go back over and say..I have been thinking about the quilt..then tell all the things that could happen if left that way..and offer to take it home and fix it..since it is tied.it won't be hard to take out and fix..the person getting it this way will never use it..unless they fix it..and it really is a shame to ruin the gift thought behind this..it sounds like her mind is not working right at the moment..and the idea of fixing it ..is just too much for her..
