Quilt repair for Michael

No not "that Michael", this is a new customer.  Michael's sweet puppy got hold of a quilt that Michael's grandmother made for him, and the quilt didn't fare well.  Grandma is no 92 years, and still making quilts, something for me to shoot for.

A few of the fabrics were able to put pulled back together and then zigzag stitched back together.
In most of them though, the pup pretty much at the fabric.  Raid my stash, and find something of a similar color scheme, and then keep that consistent throughout.  Grandma had tied the quilt, but since there were large gaping holes in the quilt top, and then large patches of batting also were lost.  I added some batting pieces back in, but then the quilt needed some actual quilting to hold the batting pieces in place. So just a big loopy meander to hold things together.
Now that Michael takes pup for LONG walks, she is too tired to be after his quilt anymore.  I think that the quilt will now stay together for many more years of cuddling and "hugs" from grandma.
