I'm sorry this happened to your lovely gift of love. The only thing I can think of is, if you could have someone do a lot of embroidered crosses that you could cut out and applique to all the holes. So sorry!

I'm curious why you'd have holes in the fabric! Is it 100% cotton? Is it homespun cotton? Homespun is a looser weave than regular quilting cotton. I'd be tempted to take it back to the store and show them what happened! They probably won't do anything, but they need to know if it's a flaw in the fabric.

I'm so sorry this has happened. I'm not clear on the problem, did it come apart at the seams? As Bearisgray said could you explain. I have one of those "store bought" quilts, when I washed it, it came apart. My pets do get on the bed, so I use this one as a top cover. I taught myself how to FMQ on it and still have spots that come apart when washed, then I go back and FMQ some more on it. Just a thought.

Yes it is in the seam area.....but only on the one fabric also. I am to new to try to quilt it on my little machine my self. It is also to big for me to reach the middle of the quilt also.

Aw -- it unravels a lot then. Homespun fabric unravels a lot. If that's the case, take it apart and sew the seams with the tiniest stitch length your machine will make. That should help.....good luck!
