I'm so glad you have found a solution, although you shouldn't have been put in that predicament in the first place.
Having made a few QoV myself from the fabric I purchased and from donations, I only had one parcel that I had to refuse. Her heart was on the right place, but she had kept the fabric in what was obviously a smoking environment. Hubby and I don't smoke and don't allow anyone to smoke in our house because of the smell.
Luckily, the donation was in a bag and handed over to the local quilt shop to be given to me and I opened the bag there. It stunk to high heavens and the people in the shop agreed with me to send it back with a thank you and a polite explanation.
I hope the quilts turn out well.
