If most of the holes are in the background, which would be hard to fix without being noticable, you could cut out the applique parts, with batting and backing, and reapplique them to new blocks. Would give dimention to them, too.

Oh when I hear about this sort of thing I just want to pull a Rumpelstilkin jumpin' up and down tantrum!!

There should be a special place in you know where for those who treat handmade quilts like this!
