Tell her what she needs to do in order to make sure it is in the right condition to be able to quilt it. If I were you, I would even tell her how much fabric SHE needs to buy for the backing and also the batting.
The way I see it, that quilt is 90% yours (stash fabrics, batting, backing and quilting - viola a quilt)

I would consider the fabric she used that was from your stash as a "learning loss". I would return the quilt to her with her deposit and tell her exactly why you cannot and will not quilt it and consider that you got out fairly cheaply from a nasty situation. I doubt that she will be a bother any more and your mind will be at rest, knowing you were taken, but only by a little and that the situation is at an end for you. Peace of mind is invaluable.
