I had gotten a bottle of Awesome
and said "self.. it's the only thing you've not tried."
So I spritz my hands with Awesome ran warm water over them and ink was gone. Didn't even have to rub hands together.

I'm soooo sorry this happened to your quilt and all your effort, what a downer :thumbdown:
But, as an encouragement, let me tell you about an antique quilt from the Civil War era that I saw in a MUSEUM once. It had the pencil marks still showing on the face of it 130 years after it was made, but that beautiful quilt was proudly hung where all could see and admire it.
Love yours anyway!

oh, thank you, sewgulll! I'll try that. I'll try mayo, lemonade, murphy's oil soap, etc.
:D[/quote]
In my reply to sewgull, I was just trying to be funny with the mayo, lemonade and murphy's oil soap (facetious) but some took me seriously I see.
:oops: :oops:
Someone PMed me this a.m. with the only logical solution! Since inks are petroleum based, LIGHTER FLUID would definitely remove them! I would hope the vapors would evaporate quick though. lol. then I'll rinse it in a fragrantly scented solution AND HOPE IT DOESN'T IGNITE!! LOL.. :-D :-D

Slosh (move) the quilt around in the Biz water a few times a day. When I taught school, I got ballpoint ink on my clothes daily, and it always came out using those products.

**Here's a great tip with Spray and Wash:**
I never use Spray and Wash for its intended purpose but keep it handy only for keeping the chrome polished in the bathroom. There's no hard work involved. Spray and Wash automatically spiffs up the shine on chrome!!! Finish it off when dried with a soft cloth. It'll sparkle!!
