Yes, try hydrogen peroxide but be careful. Just a thought on my part, it looks like she meant to hand embroider the outer border and never got around to it. (Maybe that is why those lines are there)

Fantastic! I am always so happy when someone rescues an old quilt top.

How lucky you are! The top is gorgeous! I would try and copy the marks on the opposite corner and hand embroider that design. Then hand quilt the rest, very simply. What a treasure it will be. The fabrics are amazing. So excited for you.

Dilute washing machine soap with water in a cup. Get a soft toothbrush. Dip and scrub.....I do this after I quilted on the lines and need to remove the pencil marks. Works every time. Happy Scrubbing!
