This was a round robin quilt that I made with my mom and a group of ladies. ( Round Robin) means that I made the center square and then past it on to the next person, every month that we got together we past our quilts around to do the next row never seeing your own quilt until it was all done. So I never saw my quilt again till it was the size you see now. Every month I had someone's quilt to work on and make bigger. When I got the quilt back, one year later, I was so excited to be able to custom quilt all over it. I bought the backing at my local quilt shop and got started. After getting 20 inches into the quilting.... I FOUND A HOLE IN THE BACKING. :cry: There is nothing for me to do but finish the quilting and just patch it later. :cry:
Most of the quilt. It is a Calif. King.

Just think of it as the first love spot. Most quilts have to be loved a long time before earning a love spot patch. And at least it's on the back. I would, however, if it's a manufacturing defect, take it into the store where I got the backing and ask for at least a partial refund.

Is there a reason why you can't patch it first? Seems to me that would make it disappear if you match the backing fabric closely.
It's such a lovely piece of art that no one will do much careful examination of the back. It's the front that catches the eye.
