Broken Quilt...Ideas?
#22
I ran into the same thing a couple of months ago. I didn't have any of the stash left from 10 years ago, so I matched the colors as close as I could. I first trimmed the area, then put the new small piece onto the hole (after placing a small piece of batting into the hole, and hand stitched the spot. She couldn't tell where - but I could! Her animal ate all the way through, so I had to replace the entire back. I then quilted it on the machine. It took me a couple of weeks, all holes are now filled and she's one warm happy camper once again!

I am amazed at the amount of damage the dog did to that quilt. Quite heartbreaking, as it is very lovely. I have no idea for a fix, but all these ladies here will come up with the perfect solution I am sure.

the idea of photocopying a block and then printing the image on fabric is brilliant, thank you all for that idea.
I'm going with the dog shape for the big hole, I'll make two, one a reverse image to put on the reverse side.
I'm plowing into Bonnie Hunters mystery Friday, but when I get the applique's finished I'll come back with photos!
Thanks again to everyone who posted!
I'll use a doxy shape...long dog for a long hole. I have two that are my delight and cross in life.
Peckish, I don't get down to Vancouver very often, because I seldom have a reason...you could be a reason if you'd like to have coffee one day. I'll bet we have other nearby members...

I was thinking the same type of thing. Children's coloring books might have a good pattern, perhaps a naughty puppy chewing on something.
