That is what I'd do. You could make it almost invisible. Hide the knot inside the quilt and carefully sew it, then hide the ending knot inside it also. You probably won't be able to find the fix easily.
Hope you make a lot of money on that one, it's pretty from what I could see of it.

I would just undo some of the stitches and resew. I think that you have to fix it if it's being raffled off. Nice quilt, though.

I ripped it apart about 4 inches before the repair site and machine sewed it back together with a wee bit of hand stitching. Thank you all for your wonderful advice.
