Yes, I can fix this

This gifted quilt; a rummage sale find by my mother in law.  She paid $7 and was very disappointed to unfold it at home to find this hole in the middle.   She feels that it was a bad purchase.  The sculpted binding interested her and she wanted me to see it and to have the quilt.   "Oh well, you can look at the edging anyway " she said.

" I can fix that!" I told her,   " and I like it very much, thank you. It's king size and will go nicely on our king bed."

I love it. Not so much for the color or pattern, but it is all cotton and old and worn so nice and soft.

Just a bit of stitching around the hole edges and it can be washed. Once cleaned, I can do some creative patching of the holes.
