I totally agree with Paper Princess.

Tell her what she needs to do in order to make sure it is in the right condition to be able to quilt it. If I were you, I would even tell her how much fabric SHE needs to buy for the backing and also the batting.
I don't understand this part....why are you buying the backing and batting?????

The way I see it, that quilt is 90% yours (stash fabrics, batting, backing and quilting - viola a quilt)

I would consider the fabric she used that was from your stash as a "learning loss". I would return the quilt to her with her deposit and tell her exactly why you cannot and will not quilt it and consider that you got out fairly cheaply from a nasty situation. I doubt that she will be a bother any more and your mind will be at rest, knowing you were taken, but only by a little and that the situation is at an end for you. Peace of mind is invaluable.

Ditto. With all of the above, quilting is fun and rewarding. This situation does NOT fit the Criteria!
