Do you have any scraps left from the quilt? I would stitch it together with some white, maybe even a bit of batting, stitch the edges, wet it till it looks like what you have and then -- throw it in the washing machine. sometimes the extra dye will wash right out, but you will know from your scraps whether it will or not. do try in the washing machine as I have had all of it wash out and as good as new. Something that runs regularly is red embroidery cotton -- again, sometimes the machine will fix it, sometimes not. good luck
