When you bleed on your quilt, you can put a drop of hydrogen peroxide on the spot and the blood will disappear most of the time. I stick my fingers sometimes and get blood on my quilts. I always have hp handy. My granddaughter had a huge "female" accident on a white floweredy sheet. I soaked in hp and you cannot even tell!
Another thing that works very well in taking out bloodstains, even very old ones, is liquid eye wash!
For removing stains that are years old, apply it with a Q tip, let sit a good while(the older =the longer) and using another Q-tip dipped in distilled water- dab that on to rinse it. Rinse it several times using the least amount of water yo can. Dry as well as you can using some paper towels. The stain will continue to lighten and usually disappears.
