I haven't read the entire thread, so someone else may have already suggested this. You could use prepared fabric sheets (JoAnn's has them) and SCAN & PRINT the fabric that needs repairing with your printer. Sue Hausman talked about this at a class she gave in Tucson recently, and I thought it was a neat idea for repairing quilts - or for finishing quilts when you run out of fabric and just need a LITTLE bit more.
