All in all it is a very old and pretty quilt. When I figure out how to post, I will do so.
I also received a sweet note from the seller. It's not the end of the world and a good lesson learned. Thanks for all the comments and advise.
Do you know that if you have a scanner you can scan the parts of the fabric from another part of the quilt that looks like the part that needs repair and then print it out and it will match the piece that you need to replace. Then you just stitch it on. Have not tired this, but I remember getting this tip from a quilting program on TV. Made sense to me. 8-)
