The first quilt I sent to a long arm just to be basted was in just that shape but I was too new to know the difference. Bless my quilters heart, she actually took some tucks in the quilt top to help square it off a little and you couldn't even see the tucks. It's that quilt that constantly reminds me how much I have learned and how much I have improved. We do learn by our mistakes. I sure would let the owner know before you do anything to it what the problems are...would hate to see you struggle with it and then have her/him pitch a fit at the outcome.
