So sorry! I have never heard of a washing machine doing that. I remember seeing Alfred Hitchcock's movie The Birds. I went home and didn't trust my parakeet for a week. Now I feel that way about my washing machine, LOL. I hope those are the only spots that are torn, and I agree with others that you can fix it so that no one will notice, but still, it's a shame that you will be fixing your brand new gorgeous quilt rather than just enjoying it.

Oh Lisa, that just makes me sick. I know what a lot of work went into Bonnie's CS. How many places are damaged? I think on the front I would applique exactly the same fabric on the block, on the back I might mimic the flower motif. I know all of us that read this will live in terror next time we put one of our quilts in our home machine. Truly sorry.
