Please don't cry! Wish I was there to help you. I would fuse something over it, a flower or butterfly whatever fits the theme of your quilt. Walk away from it for awhile, and get your mind off it. Sounds like your very stressed out over this.
Good luck and Merry Christmas.

I am with Bellyboo's information and suggestions all the way. It is best to put it aside for later and buy something nice as a gift. If it is a matter of a few loose seams, it may work to try something as suggested above. But give yourself a day's break before returning to the project. Once I was making a dress and NOTHING was going well. Finally, I simply threw the project into the wastebasket , pattern and all. Sometimes it is a matter of realizing nothing is working well and it is best to put it aside for later ...or if it is really that bad, pitch it and don't look back. No such thing as quilt police!!

is the area/seam one where you can add a strip of fabric and stitch that on both sides? it needs reinforcement of some kind. I can't sew when not in the mood, so do take a break and then go back to it.

Have you ever done hand applique? That would be the stitch I would try to hand sew it to try to fix it. I hope you can fix it...sure looks like a beautiful quilt! Wish I lived closer so I could come help you make it better.
