I would think about a wall hanging, or possibly a framed piece. Is there a way they would consider un quilting it? If, so, you could possibly remove the quilting and applique the undamaged part on to a whole cloth, or add new borders and re-quilt.
If you can post a picture, we can probably come up with more ideas.
