I, too, have repaired a hole that size for a customer. Used the same fabric and fussy cut a square and hand stitched right on the top of the quilt. I had to look very hard to find it when it was finished. Try it.....

I would hand applique something over it. I once fixed a hole by "fussy cutting" a patch and it blended right in, using very small stitches. What a pretty quilt. I've had cats that like to sleep on the quilts I'm making, but so far none have made any holes. Good luck and don't kill the cat. You can yell though.

That is where all my sewing stuff is. I also had a number of other items in various stages of being worked on. Well my stupid cat had been laying on it this morning and long story short there is now a hole in it. Thank God not all the way threw the quilt just the top and batting. How would I fix it. It is almost. In the center of the quilt. This is an oversized twin almost the size of a full. Other than ripping everything out. Here is a pic of the hole.

This quilt will be around for many, many years. Take an hour to rip out the torn piece and replace it. You'll be happy you did so every time you look at it. I have experienced fixing and not fixing and the little bit of time it takes to fix something is worth it.

I love furbabies, other peoples' furbabies. The last thing I would do is to get that cat a brother or sister. Nothing like more holes in quilts! No offense please! I would have a fit if a cat or other furbaby put a hole in one of my quilts. Hiss at her really loud, maybe she will get the message.
I know your quilt will turn out okay. You have gotten plenty of good suggestions here.
