My thoughts exactly. Also, I was told a long, long time ago that those little mistakes we all make are the signs that the project is hand made with love and not in a factory somewhere.

Yep a permanent pen or marker saves the day.

In home ec class we were taught to cut off the selvage so I do it with all my quilt fabric. selvage is not good to leave on the fabric as it it a very tight weave and will draw when washed and dried. Like the wide band with no nap across each end of many towels. They always draw and make the ends of the towels ruffly. The same thing happens to the inside of the quilt seam.

Use a marker. Have also used the marker on wallpaper where it tends to not quite match at the seams.

I have seen quilt shows where a variety of quilt teachers have used permanent markers to cover areas such as your problem. I might try that as well as maybe putting the label over the area.

Put a label there!

Use a permanent Pigma pen as others suggested. You may need to do a touch-up after the first few washes as the fabric shrinks and white threads can be revealed. Sharpies tend to bleed and fade over time.

I like the idea of appliqueing something over it. a heart maybe or a moon and a star .

I always remove the selvages and sew the backing pieces together with 1/2 - 1" seam.
The biggest thing to know when sewing or quilt making is how to fix mistakes. That is where the real talent comes in to play.

When I sew two pieces together for a backing I use selvages to sew a straight seam about 3/4" then cut it off. My suggestion would be a fabric marker to conceal the white. I even use them on t-shirts that get a light spot on them.
