I would just go with the small applique and tell my aunt about it later.

Not knowing the pattern of her quilt or if it's a scrappy, I can only suggest that you drop a hexie over the hole. Tell her it's a love-hug from you. IMHO

SewCrazy, the first post indicated this is an Overall Sam pattern

before I sewed appliques all over someone else's quilt I'd discuss it with the owner.
Unless the batting is poly I'd do the fusible under the slit and mark those places with a pin
so you will know a little extra quilting there would not go amiss.

Let us know

Here is what I did. I found some fabric that was as close as I could come with it ( it did turn out every well). I made the hole just enough to be able to turn under the area (a circle ) and I tucked a one inch piece inside the hole and gently using a small knitting needle to smooth the patch in under the top of the quilt on the batting. Then I took a quilting needle and made tiny stitches all the way around the edge of that was folded over and when I finished, you couldn't even find where I did it. Took some time but it was worth it for her. Just an idea for you.
This might work but so far I've found about 30 of these places. Most are in the sashing fabric or where she tried to take out some stitches. I'll be sure and ask her what she wants me to do. She wants very little quilting since the Sam's are mostly applique and embrodiery . Thanks for all of the good suggestions! Now I have a little bit more to run by her.
