    I like the idea of palm trees and a sailboat - maybe you could even put a little dog in the boat to "honor" the culprit who enabled you to get this beautiful quilt! :-D

    I am not sure how to put that pic on here- but there is the link. Could you do something like that on top of it? Like, just add it right over the existing quilt. I would make the flower large- like say, 4 feet?


    I am not sure I like the idea of just a sailboat slapped on there. I think it would look more repaired and less like it was meant to be there.

    If you really want a sailboat, I think Charisma's idea is good. (She is brilliant, btw. Always love her stuff.)

    That's funny! If she does something else, I think she should maybe embroider a hidden dog on there or something, maybe quilt one in. That is a very clever idea! :)

    You can overlap square over the squares or a square with a sail boat pattern.

    I would find a cheater panel that coincided with the rest of it & cover it up.

    How about an underwater scene with seaweed and fish? There could be a boat floating on top of the water... ooh, I like the flower idea, too!

    I have fixed quilts like this for people. You can remove torn pices of the quilt, I am sure you can find material that is close to this material. Then you can cut the pices to replace the torn ones. I also cut batting the same size as the torn pieces hand sew them into the spaces and then applique each piece of replacement pieces into the quilt top. You will have a hard time finding where you have fixed the quilt top.
