I had the chance to visit my family's ca. 1780 quilt at Colonial Williamsburg in the Textile Research Museum when I attended Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival a couple weeks ago. In carefully photographing the quilt again, I was reacquainted with a repair done exactly this way well over 100 years ago, maybe even much earlier! You did good, girl!Jan in VA

I made a quilt for my grand-daughter and her dog chewed several holes in it. I covered them with large appliqued flowers and everyone thought that was the way I designed the quilt. Don't know how to post a picture otherwise I'd show you how it turned out. You sure did a great job with your mending too!

What a wonderful patching job you did! They should be thrilled with it!

so......I'm not the only one who had to do this, huh? Same thing here - made a quilt for my girlfriend's daughter and after several years she let her mother in on her little secret - the dog ate the quilt! No problem, I told her, let me see it, and thankfully I had some of the same fabric - took off the chewed part of the border, added a section back in and it looks like I just had to piece the border! Problem solved. Now, as to the dog......well, He's not allowed back on the bed!
