Sometimes a larger top boarder helps to lengthen a quilt or makes an emphasis on the design. Jenny from MSQC does this sometimes. I don't know your relationship with this lady but my guess is you don't feel comfortable speaking to her about it. As to whether she takes offense, it seems you have a previous relationship with this person and if approached in the correct way, she will not be offended. You may question her as to why she went in the direction she did and be honest with her. It's obvious both of you weren't on the same page when she made the quilt. I hope you can get this resolved satisfactorily for both of you. After posting the picture of the border I tend to agree with you that I wouldn't be happy with it either. Good luck.
