Yep, drew some lovely big lines....Dark Pink ones all over my mainly cream quilt top. Can you guess what my heart rate ramped up too when I realised what I had done! I guess luckily I realised as soon as I had done it. Tried dabbing (in different spots) dishwashing liquid, washing powder made into a paste, stain remover, and hand sanitiser(rubbing alcohol). The hand sanitiser was the only thing that had any effect and now, an hour later I have managed to dab dab dab until my fingers are cramped and the lines are faded....not gone...just faded. And I guess I am going to have to live with that. sigh.........

So my question is I now have a pin basted quilt, quilted in the centre out to about halfway all around, and a very soggy side of the quilt where the dastardly event occured. Now, do I just let the quilt dry from its substantial wetting with the hand sanitiser and then wash the quilt as normal when I have finished it or do I attempt to wash or rinse the area now....and if so...how the heck do I manage that? Tomorrow I have to go interstate for a few weeks so this quilt is not going to be finished for about a month.

Any advice most gratefully received......I'm off to have a strong cup of tea as it is too early for a stiff adult drink!!!!!
