Default LA nightmare

Has anything like this ever happened to you? I was doing a quilt for a good customer when I noticed a good sized blotch of ugly colors on it. I had checked it over before I put in on my LA so I just knew I had accidently done something. I worked so hard to get it out and only made a little improvement. So as a last resort, I used my fabric pens and did my best to make the blotch blend in. I finished the quilt and had it folded neatly with her name and how much the bill was on it so when she came to pick it up and I was not at home my husband gave it to her.
I flipped when I learned that she had the quilt and I did not have a chance to tell her what happened to it. I phoned her to confess and instead she was falling all over herself because I had been able to get all the blotched mess out of her quilt. Seems her granddaughter had VERY dirty hands and tried to finger paint on the quilt. Seems I just didn't see the mess when I first checked her quilt over. I was so relieved that I cried.
