1. Find the rip, tear, stain etc.
2. Find a shape that will cover the entire ripped/stained area
3. Appliqué onto quilt using your favorite method of appliqué (I hand stitched this one)

Good as new!! So go ahead, USE your quilts, LOVE your quilts, FIX them and USE some more!!

The longer we love this quilt, the more stars it will have!
