I finished taking this quilt apart. In the process, I found one piece that needed to be replaced.
I decided to applique a new piece over top rather than removing this. I thought I’d share how I did this. First, I placed a piece of printer paper on my wool mat.
I placed the top with the torn piece over top and stuck straight pins in around the edges of the piece.
This made holes in the paper.
Then I roughly connect the dots to make my pattern.
That should do nicely. The point on the original piece was blunted, so I will blunt the new piece as well.
Time to find an appropriate scrap to use and get it stitched in place.
I placed my paper pattern on my scrap and ironed the seam allowances over the edge of the paper.
Then I removed the paper and pinned my piece into place and appliqued it down.
The blue triangle here is slsd a replacement.
Time to get this basted!
Have a good one!

I do alternations and repairs on clothes and several clients have brought quilts for me to repair. I usually pass on the real difficult jobs but I had considered the method you used for replacing a damaged piece. Now you have given me the confidence do try it. Thanks.
Thanks for the information how to patch a hole in an antique quilt!
Brilliant way to replace a piece! I never should have thought of doing it like that. Hugs,
Very creative repair hack–love it–this is a lovely quilt hugs, Julierose
Hi Katy – I love the antique quilt that you are working on here – and I wonder if you noticed the brown solid triangle that is above and to the right of the blue triangle that you pointed out. That brown triangle has a hole in it and looks worn through – just thought I would point that out. You may of course have seen it and decided it was good to go. Beautiful quilt and I am glad to see that you are reviving it.
Pauline
