    I make the right size heart and fuse it on, looks like you did it on purpose.

    I was lucky in that the tear I found was before it was quilted, but if you can tuck a small bit of iron on patch in there and then pull the edges together real tight and iron. I used the iron on patch to mine and you cannot even see it. Location may make a difference with this. mine was near the edge.

    If the tear is not very long (1/2" isn't that long) you can seal it with clear nail polish. I have done this with superior results!

    Mine was on the back. A small hole where I had gone through the fabric when I was using jack the ripper on a seam. The quilt was a log cabin. I made five small log cabin blocks, put one over the hole and placed the othes around the back. Worked out fine. Glad it was a solid back. Good luck.BrendaK

    When this happened to me on the quilt for my granddaughter, I cut out a heart shape large enough to hide it and attached using fusible web and then quilted around it. You could even do 4 or 5 scattered around the back like it was intentional:-)
    The quilting didn't show from the front and solved the problem.
