I was just looking at the piece that is torn, and it probably should be replaced. But I know my limitations, lol. However, I think I am getting more sewing savvy by the day. Instead of trying to repair it, ...too big a hole, and the material is too fragile, or place another block on top of it,...no where near the skill this quilter had...., I think I will cut out a red heart, fuse it on interface to give it some body, and machine applique it over the top, using red thread....because the backing is red with little white flowers. That would cover the tear, reinforce the material, not show my lack of skill (hopefully), and not show up overly much on the back.
THought?
