I agree the spot is small and no one but you will notice. When DH was working he would often get ink stains on his poly-cotton shirts. I would make a paste of dishwasher powder and rub it on the spot then wash it and the spot would come out. Lately, I use the gel dishwasher stuff, but it seems to work as well. Never tried hair spray.

And if it bothers the receiver oh the quilt, let them launder it. If they mean to use it, they'll wash it regularly. If they display it, they likely hang it where such a miniscule flaw won't be seen.

It is honestly not that noticeable.

Just spray a little bit on the dry quilt in that area & gently rub (either rub against the quilt itself or rub with a soft white cloth). When all the ink is gone, you can wash the quilt -- or just spot wash the area with a teeny bit of laundry soap & cold water to remove the sticky hairspray. Works every time & I've yet to see it damage any type of cotton fabric.

This is what I was going to suggest. You may also spray a bit of spray into your hand and then use a q-tip. This prevents over spray. It really is hardly noticeable.

It's barely noticeable. But if you want to try to remove it use hairspray on it. I swear that works better than anything on the market!

No need to worry in my opinion, not anything to bother with.
But just an FYI - hand sanitizer also works to remove ink marks. Took several red ink marks out of a white blouse with no problem for me. Little dab on old, clean toothbrush, apply to area, rinse, gone!
