Why not just make a tiny Dresden plate with your signature and date and hand applique it over the hole. I have had problems near the end of a quilt also and this is my solution, whether top or lining, it works and adds a piece of yourself to your creation.

I don't know what happened. I checked the back when I basted it and it looked good. even worse my material got hung on the foot went to get it out and cut a hole in it. and I was almost done with the whole top. so well what to do what to do watch it snow and hope I get enough so I can make me some snow creme. I hope that you day has been better than mine.

Every quilt has at least one flaw, only God would make a perfect quilt, I say patch it the best you can and finish it...if the lady doesn't want it after it is patched, I bet there is someone out there who would love to buy it, patch and all...you might have to lower the price becasue of the patch, but Dresden Plate patterns are so pretty they always have an appeal...post a picture, I may even be interested in buying it.

Was so glad to read you fixed the "incident" with the quilt. Will look for pictures. :thumbup:

Dolores so ethnic similar has happened to me. Think of this as a "creative" opportunity and don't beat yourself up. Stuff happens. Finish the quilting. Spread it on the floor and study it. Can you embroider or appliqué over the hole? Can you embellish it in a way so that it looks intentional? You will come up with something. It may take a few days. Just give it time. Emily
