I haven't read all of the ansers, so someone else may have come up with this solution, but my thought is to take another part of the same block that has some of that creamy-white color in it, ravel a couple of the threads, and after putting a little spot of fusible stablizer on the back (gently work it in), thread that creamy-white thread and 'darn' the torn area. You will be using the exact same thread as in the fabric. In theory, it works. The fusible stablizer on the back will help to re-inforce it.
Let us know what worked for you. |

I would put a red dot on it because there is one on the side so put one on top. I would applique it on.

I would applique something cute over that hole and follow through with repeating the applique in all the lion's blocks.
Blessings, MaryAnna PS...that's an adorable quilt! |

Some kind of an applique would be so much easier and faster. Just make it look like you intended it from the start. No one will be the wiser.

Applique an orange dot over the top. It will look like it was supposed to be there.
Oh, guess I should have read the other posts first. Great minds think alike. |
Since your fabric has little circles in it, I would cut a circle and make it similar to a yoyo and sew it in place by hand.
