Default What To Do? Dye Ran...

I pre-washed with colour catchers until they were clear, made the quilt and now that I have washed it I have one block that is giving me grief for some reason.
So far, I have washed the quilt twice with colour catchers (both times, the catchers have a bit of dye), and I have treated the white on this block twice with Grandmother's Secret Spot Remover. It is a lot better, but obviously, still there and not getting any better.
So, I'm done trying to wash it out.
What would you do now?
Applique over the white outside box and then just re-quilt the free motion over top of that?
What type of applique?
I've only ever done raw-edge fusible.
Could you sew the 4 sides of the box with 2 pieces of fabric RST and then turn them, so there was no raw edges and then applique that on, to create the box?

Any suggestions appreciated.
