It seems to me you have more than one block to X the names out of-the blocks seem like they are written to both of the married persons-you might want to keep the whole quilt in case they change their minds and get back together again-sorry-it's a beautiful quilt, and the time and sediment making it should not go in vain.

I would not remove the name. They did exist together and still do only apart. A break up doesn't and shouldn't make a person disappear. Would you remove a name if someone had died? You can't erase the past. You can embrace it and do better in the future.
