Default Little Fisher Boy

My DH's 93 year old Aunt sent me this quilt to do for her. She wanted me to quilt it very simply. All she wanted was for me to go around the fishermen and to do something in the sashings. So, that is what I did. During the quilting process, I found several places where she had ripped the fabric. When I asked her if she knew those places were there, she told me how a woman had asked her to make it for her and she only wanted the top with a binding and no quilting. After she had put the binding on it, the woman decided she couldn't afford to get it. So, she canceled her order. Auntie tried to rip the binding off and had ripped a few holes in the process. I asked her if she wanted me to try and fix them or applique something over them. She said, she did, if I could. So, I appliqued a few little stars around on the quilt over the boo boos. I think it turned out pretty good after all was said and done. What do you think?
