LOVELY IDEA !![ |
What about an applique to coordinate with the letter closest to the cut? You might have to add others (appliques) elsewhere on the quilt to visually balance it. There's always a plan B! Hope you post it when it's finished.

she could repair them by putting some fabric behind the cut and then hand sew or zigzag over the cuts with matching thread.

I did something similar during a badly timed seizure. I was working on a Daisy quilt, so I found a bumble bee applique to cover the slice.

Good suggestions given. Good idea to get the cut edges as close together and stabilized with something behind the cuts - and then she will have to use her creativity to cover the cuts - if she does appliques - she could scatter a few more over the top to make it look intentional - |
I got a tube of stuff at Wal Mart that bonds a seam together. It may just work on those tiny slits, It is expensive about 10.00. You put it on and let it dry and it permanent.

Maybe make letters of the child's name and applique them all over so it looks intentional and child can find letters of it's own name when old enough.
