OK, I"ve got a question...what's a whip stitch? sorry...I have no idea what that is. I was thinking about putting a piece of fabric over the holes (some are tiny, one is a good couple of inches) but I don't know how horrible that would look? but I guess it's better than having holes in his quilt. it was machine quilted by a long arm so not taking that apart! LOL! it's probably also due in part to me using cheap walmart fabric (I didn't know any better....) thanks so much for the help everyone!!
