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..

I have the batting on the inside now and it seems to be trying to form it's own binding with the seam allowance.
I have the hole pinned closed following the lay of the "binding" but can't figure out if I want to stitch in the ditch around the edge or use decorative stitching or just tie it and be done with it...
Any ideas?

Swedish Gal makes sense
COPD does terrible things to thinking ability. when the oxygen levels sink below normal, there is a cascade of events that happen, and hallucinations are not uncommon. the ability to sort out normal things becomes impossible. every day tasks go undone because they don't make sense. just looking at the quilt probably exhausted every capability this poor lady had. i'll be she would welcome some help, and after she is better, will be embarrassed that she had so much difficulty. the toll that oxygen lack takes is incredible, and it's something we take for granted every day. you would be a real angel to just help her out as gently as possible.

Prednisone can do strange things to people. My mother also had COPD, was put on prednisone, and from that point farther could not be left alone. She started a fire in her kitchen, wrecked the car, and just generally was not right in the head while she was taking it. Thankfully she was able to go off the drug and then returned to her normal self. I am glad you are helping your neighbor.

I agree. My neighbor has COPD. She has asked me a couple times if I would help her out. She has helped me many times as a moral supporter. So I owe her more. She had trouble with a new med, I couldn't go bu DH did. The way she read it, she would have overdosed. Such a sweetheart!
