Absolutely enter it! I had a handquilted quilt I entered that had a repair patch on it!! It stuck out to me like a beacon but no-one noticed it that I am aware of, not even the judge! Or at least they didn't mention it on the comments. The quilt did well enough to win a vendors choice! So do your repair and enter away!
Here is a link to a picture, I defy you to find it! LOL
