maybe you could applique a couple of key spots, not just one, maybe three on the top somewhere.

Your quilt is wonderful. I always add something to the back. I purchased fifty butterfly patches years ago and I always add one to the back of the quilt, but in your case if it is one the front, you can add a cute applique anywhere on the quilt to make it very special.

I had an "accident" leaving one inch rip on front and backing. I appliqued a butterfly on the front, and put the label over the back rip - after a bit of stitch repair.

After an accidental pricking of the finger, and blood happens to get on your piecework, your OWN saliva will be the best blood remover. Then you can rinse the area. Worked for me...several times.

FREY CHECK is a must have for Everybody, quilter or not. for cut ends of ribbons, anything that might frey out or ravel. I like to put a small dab at ends of button holes .

If you have more fabric, such as the butterfly print, cut out a butterfly and apply over cut with iron on fusable.
