I agree with the applique. I was thinking a sun since it would be shining down on the cute lion.

Thanks for this link...this looks great! I do have a question though...does it smell at all or give an off-gas odor when it's being ironed? I am extremely sensitive to chemicals and need to take precautions not to use anything that could potentially make me ill.

Can you add an applique of something? Maybe a star?

Lady-T 06-25-2011 01:36 PM

None that I can detect and I'm also very sensitive to chemical smells.

would be inclined to just put a small piece of the same white fabric through the hole with a stiletto. Make sure there is a bit of fusible stuff on the back of the repair piece so that when you get it into place you can iron it against the batting and it wont move.After you have quilted it, I doubt whether it will be detected unless you point it out.(P.S. I would also put a small ring of the fusible between the top and the repair swatch as well).

Applique,..........the fastest solution :)

I agree with appliqué. A small piece such as a butterfly or flower around the hole would do it, even if it covers that one seam.

All these things would work, just unstitching a little past the block, applique etc. I was thinking an applique of one of the circles in the fabric. Also you have to consider the quilting. If you fused under the hole and then quilted through that area, it would help to stabilize the whole thing through the many washings.. The quilting would also help hold on an applique through all those washings. i have gotten quilts where the seams were missed or barely there. I quilt in that area in such a way to reduce the stress on that seam and have my quilting take the stress.

You may have to toss a coin on what to do since so many will work.

I'd applique something !! Cute quilt !!

my thoughts too - some well placed flowers or stars perhaps? I think appliques would save you a lot of grief here.
