Our little community is celebrating our 125th this July 4th. I volunteered to make our quilt. We completed the quilt about 3 weeks ago. The marking lines were the only thing that we needed to get off. I can't believe it...but they are not coming off..actually it is like the markings are just spreading.

It is the outside border that is a medium brown that we marked with Roxanne's marking pencil. I have tried to remove these markings with water and a soft towel. I have tried a spray bottle with warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent with no luck. Also, tried making the towel wet and removing the markings on the quilt that is dry. Didn't work. I'm not a hand quilter and I don't have any experience with this sort of a problem.

Needless to say, I'm just a little panic. I'm hoping with all the wonderful quilters here that someone will have a solution to this problem. Thanks for any and all help.
