I have a Quilt my grandmother made for our 25th wedding anniversary . My sons girlfriend got off with it and her dog chewed a hole in it. As My grandmother had already passed away because this happend 10 yrs later I made a Label with her name and that she made it for me and the year and slipped stiched it over the hole. Didn't blame the puppy blamed the ownr

great idea.

Beautiful quilt. Sorry it happened.

First, I'd shoot the dog! Second, I'd make sure where I put my quilt next time! third, Then, I'd fix it using new pieces in the area, certainly would help if you had some scraps of the real thing. You do know what this is, a memory that you will tell over and over again, I'll just bet cha. Silvia

Applique a few plain colored "funky' flowers with center circle of fabric used in the quilt and sprinkled across the quilt. All of a sudden you will have a better than new quilt. Hand applique to keep stitches from back or machine with a zig-zag and let it show on the back. Your back will have funky flowers on it too from the shapes and bobbin thread.

What a beauty, sorry you had this accident happen to such a pretty quilt, hope the repair goes smooth.

When our pet bunny nibbled three holes in the very first flannel log cabin quilt that my daughter made I appliqued a few solid yellow stars over the boo boo's and it really added a little pizzaz to the quilt.

Welcome aboard. I can certainly sympathize with you. My dog did the same thing to the border of my first big quilt and she wasn't a puppy (she was six years old!). She must have been mad at me for something I don't know - she is kind of neurotic but I love her to death. She'll be 10 on May Day and she has her bed right there in the sewing room. I would follow butterflywing's suggestions. It is a beautiful quilt and once it is fixed, only you will be able to tell where. P.S., I never fixed mine but its still on my bed!

I would try what bellaboo suggests. Good luck! It sure is a pretty quilt.

One of my quilting mentors did such a repair before Christmas for a coworker. You had to look very had to find it.

She used the method that ButterFly suggested. Make the needed 1/2 triangle blocks to "applique" over the damaged areas by hand. Put in replacment batting and patch the backing. When finished redo the quilting for this section.

It is a beautiful quilt.
