I would just sew a beautiful applique or an extra block over the hole and make it look like it was a hidden surprise! Nobody will know and you can smile at your secret.

Very Beautiful!!
How about more than one small applique? For instance a bunch of small butterflies randomly placed all over the back, then you would also have a reversible. One will never know it was to cover something, except you.

Put your label over the hole...I make so many mistakes I can always turn it into an opportunity of some kind.
Or applique a block there or a few on the back...you can even do it raw edge! Makes it different and unique!

The quilt turned out gorgeous. I'm sure you can fix that hole somehow. How about some of that fabric glue. And then, Aplique some hearts or something on the back using some of the leftover fabric used in the quilt. Use some stitch witchery to stick the hearts on. Or place blocks stragically put of course and applique them on. No one will ever know you are covering a hole. They will think it was planned that way.
