That's what I would do. If it doesn't come out, then take it back, fix it and give it back as soon as possible. She will surely understand.

I'm so glad the story has a happy ending! I can't imagine trying to sew / quilt something wet; you are a better woman than I am.

Poor husband, I'm glad it all worked out for him, too. :)

I'm so glad this ended well. Poor DH, his heart was in the right place. Bet he'll stand back far away from your quilts with a drink from now on :)

Also, if you can't beat it .. join it. After the quilt is finished, put some diet coke in a spray bottle and spray the back, randomly, so that it matches the original stain. Let it set for awhile then wash the whole thing. You may have just stumbled on to something!! ;-)
very creative great idea :thumbup:

Call the mama and tell her about it, ask if she would mind waiting for a fresh one, then make a big goofy coupon to take to the shower, (wrapped to open) promising her a new quilt? IMHO. I am hopeless with stains. Sorry. :oops:
