This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Textiles.

For this BB, you will patch or darn a blanket so that the patch or darn increases the loveliness of the blanket.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
 - patch or darn a blanket

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or a video (less than two minutes):
 - the hole in the blanket before the repair
 - tools and materials you will use
 - repair in progress
 - the newly mended blanket

Edge case submission
My youngest son has a favorite blanket that I made for him about 3 years ago and he sleeps with it every night. The back had a giant hole in it which just broke his little heart.
I mended it with cotton thread, a needle and scissors.

Note: this looks like a beautiful seam repair . unfortunately, it seam repairs do not qualify as a patch or darn repair.  So glad the little man is thrilled with your handiwork!
