Thanks so much for the validation, ladies!
Barb: It's a King's Hiway pattern. I hadn't thought to use old clothes, that's a great suggestion. I also have some solids in the same tones as the patterned colors I used all those years ago.
I agree, MaryMo, that it is better and way more preferable than tearing up the quilt.
Some of the batting has fallen out, only out of the bug 8-inch opening. Do you think I should tuck in a little bit of fusible batting before putting on the patch?
