But....we are bemused by gorgeous Nikko, who sits there, nonchalant and innocent, as if to say..."Whooo, me? I chewed those holes in that quilt ? Moi ? I'm too beautiful to do that......" LOL. <br />And on a more serious note, we do hope that your foot is healing, and that you are resting well and keeping it elevated. This is a good time for quiet activities, so we know that this Friendship Star quilt will soon look as good as new. Happy Anniversary !

I agree with nifty quilts - the holes and repairs add to the story- and she has a good practical idea too about an easy repair;).

What a challenge, but with your hand skills, nothing is impossible. Maybe a really old blanket for the times you are away!!! Lovely design, After hanging my fabrics on the fence down here, I truly appreciate all your efforts when cycling out, with quilt, ladder and pegs, to get your quilt on a fence and photos taken. Take care with your foot, I do hope you, as I hope Hugh will... OBEY doctor's orders.

If you want to repair it easily, maybe you could just cut off the strip that's been chewed and put on a new binding there. The quilt would be a little smaller, but doesn't everything get smaller as we age?Nifty Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249020129403851346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-83797965527801595922015-07-29T08:36:52.865-07:002015-07-29T08:36:52.865-07:00it shows many years of love and comfort .. maybe i...it shows many years of love and comfort .. maybe it should just be her quilt to love while you are away and a new one .. for the next 20 years of wear made xxDiane-crewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879911622708138774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-42265454800666549032015-07-29T07:35:14.817-07:002015-07-29T07:35:14.817-07:00Lovely quilt (despite being chewed).

Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I guess you will be busy while your foot is propped up. Hope that toe heals quickly.
