I'm making a top quilt for a friend, and carelessly made a snip in the fabric while trimming some of the thread ends. Am I screwed or is there some form of tape or adhesive I can use to put a tiny patch on it?

Ive used tenacious tape to repair camping equipment before. Im not sure how well itd work here but i think its worth a try.
There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.
Another vote for McNett's Tenacious Tape. It is tenacious!

hand stitch
I make gear for friends with the disclaimer that I am not a gear manufacturer and your piece of gear will not be perfect. It will however have my best effort and some... Shall we say "custom" or "unique" areas.
Personally I would agree with Carbon and say hand stitch it. I would rather see someone take the time to make the repair rather than just slap a piece of tape on the boo-boo.

I would rather be in the woods... my dog would rather be in the pool. My wife thinks we are both nuts.
I'm with Carbon... give it real stitch or two. Shows it's handmade, and ain't nobody gonna notice anyway.

I've got pieces of packing tape on the insides of my quilts from some similar errors. Besides me knowing, they are indistinguishable from those areas without packing tape.
"We are the greatest bulldozers to walk erect. Will we ever permit Mother Nature–truly our mother–to do her thing, undisturbed and unmarred? Will we ever be content to play a passively observant role in the universe, and leave off this unceasing activity? I do not wish man in control of the universe. I wish nature in control, and man playing only his just role as one of its inhabitants."— Randy Morgensen, 1971
Lol. Did the same thing. I used shoe goo just alittle on the inside and let it dry. Didn't have anything else

Depending on where it is, I have cut little patches out of the fabric and use silicon to glue them on. I only do this if it is in a non-stress area. If there will be tension on the nick, hand stitching is a safe practice.
