My daughter made a quilt recently that the seam on the front pulled from the other seam. She didn't notice it until it was quilted. So I told her to buy an applique, related to the the quilt and put it over the fabric tear. Her pattern was Please Don't Eat the Dasiy's. A log cabin pattern with flowers. She bought 2 butterflies. Stitched one on the hole and the other she put it on the label. It tied both together. And looked great. When she gave the quilt as a present, she never told. No one is the wiser.
