I love your Baptist fan quilt, stitching & all. Try covering up the ink with a colored quilting thread. In addition, I went on line and printed the info about the pen I use for marking. It is a PILOT G-2 07. For me it always washes out first washing. If you think you will have a problem read the following about the PILOT Pen:Resolved QuestionShow me another »

Place a terry towel rag inside of the ink stain. Saturate the stain with rubbing alcohol, agitate it into the fiber and blot with another rag as it loosens the ink. Continue doing this until the ink transfers out of the fibers into both of the rags, pre-spot with Resolve, Zout, Shout or spray n wash then launder as usual with your regular detergent.
"The Terry Towel is the secret. You need something for the transfer. Just try to stay away from a pen which is marked permanent. You will never get it out. It only becomes lighter with each washing. My husband was a USPS employee and was constantly coming home with ink stained shirt pockets. Believe me ladies it works.
