I am in the process of fixing a quilt I had made for my niece. Their dog chewed a hole through the entire quilt. Had to make a new piece (fortunately still had some of the correct fabrics) to replace what was missing. I have hand stitched the replacement piece in the top so far. A tad painful but came out pretty well if I must say so. You could try doing that if you have the correct fabrics. Much easier if you haven't quilted it yet! This one I've had to take out some of the hand quilting as well. Will post the whole saga on this one once completed and photo documented!
