If it is just one seam, could you applique something fun over the seam? Maybe something that your daughter likes (flowers, butterflies, ladybugs....)? If you do a basic applique, where you turn the seam allowance under as you go, then you can just use a basic tiny stitch to secure the applique shape to the top layer of the quilt. It's not hard - maybe a little tedious.

Did you make sure that you took the backing off of the other side of the fusible? A lot of the fusibles have a backing on them so they adhere to one side of the fabric and not gunk up your iron.

If worse comes to worse, I can see an cute applique project on the horizon. :-D :-D

re: NYC: What, if anything, do you miss?

Hey, I loved it up there I was a kid. Loved the winters most. The only bad part was that I was a kid and we didn't go see any shows. But, if I could retire anywhere that I wanted I would go to York, Maine. Not to far from Portsmith, NH. Loved all the seasons. Snow, fall, spring and lived close to the ocean. What a life. :D

I have never used fusible before. No. I did not take the backing off until about 2:30 this morning. :oops: But I almost cried when it worked. I looks a little funky because of all that I did to it but it works. Also my daughter was over for dinner earlier when I was working on it. She kept saying that it didn't need to be perfect and that it was looking good. Little does she know that it will be an abject lesson for her come Christmas. It's going to be her present and the fact that her mother is not perfect (no one else is either) will be learned by her yet another time. Thanks for all of you alls help. I took a picture of the whole wuilt but it hasn't shown up in my e-mail yet Will post it at soon as I can.
Again, thank you all.

The quilt is beautiful. The quilt police will never notice the repaired seam. Glad you got it finished. It looks great.
