Couldn't have done it with out the people on this board. Wouldn't have tackled it with out the things I've learned here. I love you all.

In regards to bleeding on a quilt. Did you know that the easiest way to get rid of your blood on a quilt is to use your own spit. It will come out .

I would make a heart shape label and put it there.

Can't help with hole, but for the blood you got on it, use your own silvia to remove it. Works everytime. Just put your silvia on your finger and rub it on. repeat until you get all the blood out.

Yep... did that on a stretch velvet competition figure skating dress for my daughter. Gasp!!! Sewed it together and glued austrian crystals over it. Received wonderful complements on it and no one was the wiser..LOL...

I think I'd applique something cute over it.

I'm a real "corn-ball". I'd do the stitch witchery and then embroider a few good sized hearts with the words "I love you with all my heart" etc. and randomly applique them on the front of the quilt. You really can't tell people enough times how much they mean to you.

That's pretty. I've had to patch quilts before. Where people put holes in them. I just took a piece of the same color fabric and appliqued it down on it with super tiny stitches. I like the idea of adding the heart and kitty too!

I think I see some butterflies in one of your blocks. I would purchase some of those pretty little applique butterflies and scatter them in a few place....of course sew them down. Pretty quilt!!!

Yep, my mother used this method when she burnt a hole in something with a cigarette.
