That is what I would do and then add a label on top. If it is not in a good place for a lable...applique a heart over it or a flower....scatter a few around on the back...no one will be the wiser and it will be sweet. I did that on a quilt for my GS after I accidentially cut it...I had "sweet dreams" on one "I love you" on another, etc...it was fun. I used a fabric marker for the messages..

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions and sympathy. I think I will try the fusible web with a small patch over it. One of the borders has small leaves in the pattern and I think I could applique a scattering of those on and around the tear. I knew I would get some creative ideas from some of you. Thank you so much. I have learned so many things from this board. Great site.

Slip a small square of the same fabric under the cut - preferably with some fusible webbing on it , and carefully arrange and iron the cut closed. With judicious quilting, no-one will ever know the cut is there unless you point it out.
