if you know how to print pics on fabric, print one of the dog and applique over new batting. that way it gets repaired and becomes a memory quilt at the same time. add that info to a back label.

I made a Christmas table runner for a friend, that she later lit on fire.... :roll: She doesn't sew, so I took it back, found a piece to fit (I couldn't believe that I still had that fabric 2 years later!), blind appliqued it in place (didn't take out the burnt fabric), stuffed in a piece of batting, made a patch for the back, then re-quilted some lines.

When I gave it back, she couldn't find the patch, and she knew where the candle had burned through. Only on the back, where there was an actual patch, could she find it.

Don't stress. This is an easy-peasy fix!

:D :D :D :D well...you can make a nice applique in this hole stating :it was done my the dog...
Another thing you can do...is to rip the whole block and add a new one insted

For the batting you can cut a square to fit over the damaged square and sew it in when you sew the rest in. It's not the perfect fix but at least you wont have extra wear in that one spot.

You can do this fix pretty easily...just give your dog a hug and tell him that you know he didn't do it on purpose... :wink:

I'm glad you still had a scrap to use and can save it.

gcathie

looks like you have alot of grand ideas....good luck fixing your problem....I'm sure you can do it!

Add a yo-yo, either the same fabric if you have it or another from the quilt or that would fit in.

I would applique a piece over it. Like the heart and put the dogs name in the heart. Put the words "Dog was here". It isn't too bad. Really.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I will go very slowly and see if I can get it looking like it was. You are all wonderful. I am glad I am in such a terrific group!
