I would just finish it and call it done. The few marks that remain are probably only visable to you, because you know where they are.
It's a beautiful piece...just as it is!

I think what happened is that I didn't move quick enough with my FMQ and the stitches got squished and caught the graphite tightly inside them. First effort, oh well. So, I will quilt some decorative vine patterns to cover the remaining marks. I should have hand quilted it!!!
