Applique mending: a little village.



There was an annoying small triangular tear in this duvet cover. I put some flannel over the hole on the back and darned it in place and then I covered the patch with a little picture. I'm actually amazed at how well this has held up. I did this over a year ago and it doesn't look bad at all, despite being jumped on, thrown-up on and washed and machine dried repeatedly. I didn't have a plan when I started it, other than wanting to make a little house. I just cut freehand and zig-zagged them onto each other and then on to the duvet cover. It made a nice, creative mend for the duvet cover, and used up some quilting scraps.
