Applique technique with same fabric, with the edges by the seam before should be invisible when quilted.
A friend had a worse problem. Having made and partially quilted a project for her brother of all his favourite things, which included cheese etc. on opening quilt up she discovered she had mice as they had been eating the cheese. Holes went through batting etc. she appliquéd over matching fabric pattern where possible.
Her brother thought it was very amusing and loved the quilt.

I would put a patch of the same material UNDER it. Put some fabric adhesive on the back of a small piece of the same material, poke it through the hole and iron it into place once you have arranged it suitably. It will not be noticed once you have cleverly quilted over the top of it. Experience tells me this - don't tell anyone and I am sure it will be OK. All the best with it.

Glad you got it fixed! Can't wait to see it!

I brought a baby quilt back from Indiana my sister found at Goodwill where she works. Has a 3 corner tear and a few seams coming apart. Also for some reason some blue wax. Where ever I can't repair I'm going to applique. She got it for her grandson when he comes over. Got the wax out but the color of the wax is still there. Bleach pen isn't working but got regular bleach and it came out. Applied the bleach with Q-Tips. Just need to find the right appliques and go from there.

I'm glad you got it fixed.

Yes...I was wondering the same thing. I'm guessing that it's some rite of passage with her local quilt guild. I've heard of such mysterious practices, which is why I never joined a guild.

Appliques would work.

What if you got a piece of grey fabric and appliqued it so it looked like duct tape?

Take it out and replace it. You will never be happy doing anything else.

I would stop and take it out. I had the same thing happen with the quilt I'm working on, blood in the darn middle (of course, but when did I bleed???). I just took apart enough at each stage to get to the one I needed to replace OR... can you put the label over it??
