Thank you so much for your replies. That is a great idea of seeing about getting a piece from the back to patch the front. I just don't know if I can.. I will have to see how much quilting I will need to pick out. But it looks to be all hand stitched, so maybe I can. I love the idea of a fish or boat themed applique.. whether on the front or the back...... and adding a label is a good idea too. I am going to have to gather that information about great grandma
