I had a quilt that someone gave me with a cigarette burn in it in the center. I didn't even have the same fabric as the quilt but found some similar fabric and appliqued a patch over it. You really have to look for the patch to know that it is there. When I do find the patch sometimes I just think how much I love the quilt and how clever I was to save it.

Prism99 has the perfect solution. I was so sorry to see the picture, that would make me cry for sure. It will all work out and you will be the only one who knows where the little tear was.

Looks like a good place for a label

If its at the bottom it might be a great place for a quilt label, after fusing. Might be easier and quicker to just trim it off and rebind.

Prism99 has the right answer for this problem. Fortunately the tear is on the edge where any kind of repair will be less noticed. Love that fabric.

Since that has happened to me more than once all I can do is give you my fix and let you run with the idea. I call those my special detail areas. I find a matching or contrast fabric, get out the fabric pens, and write a personal note for the recipient before I appliqué the patch to the quilt, or add a pretty shape, or on one daisy quilt I did, I just used a bubble bee appliqué to fix it. Get creative. Let us see what you decide. I even turned a beige patch into a bandaid!

Check out a product called Bonash. I did this same thing on a quilt that was pale ice blue and I used it with great results. It is a wonderful product to have on hand and lasts forever. It is a powder based glue, heat activated. Let us know if it works for you too.
