This is what I did and appliqued within the meandering outline on the lining. I'm the only one knows unless I point it out. I was really bothered at first and told only a few close friends. I'm over that now and have bigger fish to fry! In the grand scheme of things - no one will care 100 years from now:) I never asked for a break in the price nor made a big squalk-wouldn't take the hole away, so....I'll be doing my own quilting when I get the time...
