Yes, it has already been washed and I wondered about the success of taking the binding off. I have never done that....1st time for everything, right? I did think about the applique, but since the appliqued flowers are in rows rather than random, I didn't think it would look right. But I might go that route. Thanks all!!!!

Or you could always do a wider binding and just go over the binding you already have. I would be worried about the fabric, both where the "oops" is and elsewhere, fraying and falling apart. With the way that fabric seems to be fraying, I would probably make a 3.5" binding and go over the binding you already have on there.

Have you thought about putting the quilt label over this space? I would still 'secure' the fray area with an iron on interfacing to make sure it doesn't continue to fray.
Even if you try the other suggestions of removing the binding, using fray check or interfacing...if it doesn't look good, you could apply the label over the area with the bottom of the label right on the binding, therefore concealing (and protecting) the fray area entirely.
Good luck...let us know how you handled it.
