I agree with all the above..Just call her and tell her you are afraid you'll ruin it if you try it on your machine due to it's condition. And since she has sold it to someone you don't want to take the responsibility and give her information re: finishing or places that do it.

First I would NOT consider her as a "friend" I would give it back and just say you cant do it. Sounds like the small amount of money you would be getting in the end isnt worth all the work and frustration....

Give it back. It sounds as though this situation can only get worse. I would point out all of the places where the quilt doesn't meet and suggest that no one will buy a quilt in this condition. She'll be huffy and puffy and you'll feel the weight flying off your shoulders. Give it back.
I would explain that I wouldn't be true to myself if I quilted it in the condition that it is in. That should do it!

I agree with Murphy and Merry. Either would be what I'd do; and I actually lean more to recommending a LAQ to her.

She (he) can let her know if it's not quiltable, and she will also get an idea of the real cost of quilting.
