I have one of those!
I have no suggestions because I'm still thinking about how I'm going to fix mine. Will look forward to reading the responses
My story:
I have a basenji that we call 'the problem child we never had.' I'm not much of a hand quilter but I thought I'd try my hand at a Hawaiian wallhanging, after a trip to Ha.
Lots of hand quilting, hung on the wall. It looked nice.
This particular 13 yr old dog, without getting into the whole long, destruction through the yeas story, decided to get this wallhanging off the wall and chew holes in it. I guess I should tell you the dog is 16 inches at the shoulder, and the wall hanging was a good 4 ft off the floor.
Life with Ibis, over the years, was never boring. I like to think no one else would put up with her over the years, and she owes me her life, as I suspect anyone else would have shot her!
(Oh, I just have to add, she ripped a 4' by 22' section of vinyl siding off of our house.)

I'm unsure whether it is ok to post something I did not make, and really have no idea who did (I guess it could be someone here?) but I always thought this would be so appropriate, changing the bunny to a basenji

lilybeck, cutting off the broken parts and making it a couch throw was my first idea when I heard about the damage, but ether way you'd cut it, it would leave a narrow odd thing with no useful life left in it.
I'd be very happy if anyone else that has broken quilts wanted to post them here for ideas.
And I surely will update with photos when it's repaired.
