Use a 2-sided sticky inner lining, wonder under or whatever it is called. Cut a small piece, iron matching backing fabric on one side, and then iron this piece onto the hole. You might end up with a circle about the size of a 50 cent piece.

Shelley, What is Bo-Nash? and where do you get it? I just found a little hole on my backing.

Stick a decorative patch over it (heart or star) and don't worry after that.

that's my quick fix! Just slide some fusible into the hole and get it to lay flat, then iron!

Do a fancy zigzag stitch over the hole. I have done that before.

I have found cute embroidery butterfly's hide a lot of errors. You can usually find them in the sewing area and then stitch them on.

I agree, put a label over it.

Bo-Nash is wonderful. I have had to use it a few times, not always on quilts, but works like a charm.

I keep a supply of cute little appliques for just such times. I have small seizures and once in a while, it will happen when I am cutting/ripping. When I am "blocked" I just make a few more.
