    My grandmother made me a quilt sometime before she passed away. That quilt is now approximately 70 years old. One of the blocks is pieced incorrectly. It is my favorite block in the quilt. I'm sure she shook her head when she found it. But it was made in love for a very small girl. She probably never dreamed it would still be in pristine condition after all these years. One of my most treasured items. I always say, if you want perfect, buy a quilt at Macy's.

      The Amish always make an intentional mistake, because only God makes the perfect quilt.

      I have a quilt that my mother made my older brother. They are both gone, and I discovered the quilt. It's quite lovely. My brother had a girlfriend who 'accidentally' spilled bleach on it. It's such a pretty quilt that I've kept. Now I can repair it. Thank you for this tutorial post.

      @debcurry5775 my grandma made each of the 3 kids a quilt. My brother had a wife, that when they were divorcing, "took" his quilt. He didn't realize for a long time as he thought it was at mom's in the cedar chest.

    Shame on me but I think I would have ignored the mistake! This week I realized how small the quilting community is. I was watching a tutorial that I stumbled upon of a quilter, living in England. She was talking about quilts and showing some quilts and then she mentioned how she enjoyed watching YOUR TUTORIALS. I thought that was so cool and I couldn't wait to share that story with you. You are a good teacher and I appreciate all your tutorials. Thank you!

    When you made that quilt I saw that block and was yelling at you to not quilt it yet. Then after it was quilted I didn't see the mistake and thought you had caught it.

      Donna, in the ‘olden days’ there were guilds for various trades. You my dear would be the Guild Master for quilting. We, your loyal viewers would be your apprentices…of differing capabilities.
      You are head and shoulders the best on the internet. Oh, there are many ‘pretenders’ out there, but you are the real deal imo. I don’t recall ever seeing a video that demonstrated repairs on an already quilted quilt , much less an invisible repair!
      Kudos to your photographer. Is this your son? The shots were clear, and from just exactly the best angle. Bravo!
      The other point I want to make is that I was drawn to your videos from the start because of your obvious love of your craft, and you showed us all that you do not need the newest and best equipment… you draw lines with pencil or chalk, nothing expensive or fancy. You sew on a simple machine ( commercial but basic) . And the results are outstanding.
      Please pass a ‘Hi’ to Matt and the rest of your family. Matt’s hand cutting is also unheard of in this day and age. I know that times have been tough for everyone in the last three years. I hope you and your family have weathered the storm and will continue to thrive for many years to come.
      ❤❤❤

    When I learned how to make quilts just over 50 years ago, I was taught by several Old Order Amish women and we did everything by hand, including the quilting. When starting to quilt with a new length of thread, the knot at the end was pulled through to the inside with the batting, and then you quilted until the thread got too short. At that time, you did not put a knot in the thread. You pushed the needle between the layers as far as you could, wiggling the needle a bit so the thread would really be caught up in the batting. Then you brought it back to the top and pulled gently to tighten the thread. Finally you just cut the thread close to the top of the quilt. The tiny thread tail would disappear into the batting, never to be seen again. For this repair, I would end the thread just a bit differently than Donna did. I would make that knot, but instead of cutting off the thread, I would insert the needle into the batting as far as I could go, then bring the needle up and snip off that thread. That way there would be no thread tail on top. I really did enjoy this tutorial. Thank you for showing us what to do!

All the center hexagons of the flowers was the same color and was a very lightweight cotton, and it is in shreds. 98% of the rest of the quilt is fine, there is one flower that I might replace the whole thing. I have gathered the fabrics and thread and gotten a template for the hexis (1" hexigons!) and now - thanks to your video - I know how to do what I need to do!

    It never occurred to me that a goof-up on a quilt could fixed! My thought has always been - well , you can't see it from an airplane! Thanks so much for a very useful video.

    A 1000 likes for this one. Now that I've been quilting for a few years quilters are finally doing videos to show how to fix mistakes. Love them. If I saw that mistake I would probably just let it go. Proof it was handmade. Maybe not now that I see it's fixable.

    Oh I love how you rubbed the chalk off! That is how I dust! Thank you, that is exactly how I fixed wee tears on a very old silk quilt and how I would do it again. Very interesting video. X

    Absolutely wonderful. I'm not sure I've seen anyone actually show how to repair a quilted top before. Thank you for using the mistake as an opportunity to show how to fix problems.

    For those of us with years of experience.... this would be an "Ahh, fudge" moment! Donna, you handled this with grace and determination!🎉 i have in my "To Do" pile a couple of well seasoned quilts that need repair...I keep putting them off... this is a gentle reminder of what a "Can Do" attitude will accomplish! Thank you!

    Genius! As much as I hate mistakes, I think I'd be tempted to just leave it. A very informative video. Such skill and know-how!

    Donna, This is a truly awesome teaching video for me! I have a repair to do on an inherited more than 100+ year old family quilt that ink was spilled on. My husband got the ink out by soaking in Oxiclean but 2 small squares were too old and frayed away at the edges and need to be replaced. Now I think I can do the repairs so we can display my great aunt's quilt. Thank you!

    Golly, I have done repairs as well, but never with the ease and grace that you have done this.For me it was hand sewing all the way.

    Thank you so much for showing us how to make a repair! I would not have even guessed how to start, and even though it may be a tedious fix, you make it so simple to follow. I love your videos! Wish you were in Florida, I would be in your store all the time!!

    This was so informative. I would never have attempted to repair or correct an already quilted quilt before seeing this video. Now I MIGHT consider it!

    Thank you so much. I've spent the afternoon removing and turning a rogue block. It looks really good. A bit fiddly removing the quilting but well worth the time. Now I can display the quilt without having that mistake staring back at me. I;m so happy.
