"Knife, fork, scissors and fire"....
.... are not for little kids: "Messer, Gabel, Schere, Licht sind für kleine Kinder nicht!" this is an old saying over here! And they are right when you have a look at this quilt:

My grandson (4y) was so disturbed when he realized what he has done! He wept and he was really sorry when he saw that we are not really pleased when we saw the holes in the quilt!
But then I comforted him and told him that I will try to mend it as good as possible!
I made this quilt 10 years ago for my daughter and she loves this quilt! It will be continued! And by the way: he used a little nail scissor!

Oh my! And what was he playing with, scissors?? I think all youngsters seem to go through that phase. It is very hard to stay mad at them when they realize what they have done is wrong and are so sorry. In my youth it was the hair on all my dolls!
I think you can fix it. Maybe some appliqued hearts.

My niece was baby-sitting her 4 yr old niece when her 4 year old daughter cut both their hair. I taught Kindergarten and some kids would be working on a cutting project and just make confetti they were so happy to be cutting. I bet he'll be more careful in the future.
