What would you do...?

The only thing I can see that you did wrong was not charge the lady for the pattern. Especially since you had to "back-track" to make the pattern for her. Otherwise, honoring a commitment is much more important. Bully for you.

As long as you feel you have done the correct thing is what counts, I believe. The fact that you promised it to the school first, should mean that the school had 'dibs' on it. The fact that your customer did not voice any appreciation is her failing, not yours - and just as well you gave it to the school where it may have been more appreciated.

You did the right thing, however you went above and beyond by giving here the pattern. It's a shame she didn't even have the decency to thank you for it!
By the way, that's a beautiful quilt! I'd love to buy some raffle tickets for that! :-)

I think you also did the right thing. If you wanted to make another one then I would of given her a price then got a deposit down & made another one. Doesn't sound like she was too deserving of the pattern when she can't even say thank you.
