I think it's beautiful!!
Non-quilters will never notice the boo-boo's on the back, they will think the boo-boo's on the front are intentional.
Other quilters will sympathize with the horror you've gone through.
Perhaps eventually the bleeding will fade, and the back will mellow out.
Me, I would just throw it on my bed and enjoy!!

What a beautiful quilt! I have followed your story from when you first posted, and I am so GLAD you have a useable quilt!! After everything you have done, and all the worry and advice from all of us, you have fixed it! It looks wonderful, and the back does look like a pale batik. I am so relieved. I could imagine your pain and frustration.
Well done!!!!

JANE QUILTER'S CONCLUSION:
Surely, one conclusion to this adventure, is to test EVERY marking pen on a sandwiched sample of the fabrics you are using in your quilt. Danger lurks with every option, such as the "turquoise" in frixion pens, the "yellow" in crayola washable markers. The "blue" in washable pens from China. Marking Chalk dust that does not even claim to come out. Non-washable pencils (once the package is tossed, how do you remember?). Manufactures of fabric, dyes, sizing, marking tools are constantly changing materials or vendors to "improve" or "reduce costs". No marking technique for fabric is safe from change, so test, test, test and remember what worked for me today, might not work for you tomorrow. Let us all keep vigilant and continue to share ideas, results, products, recipes, and test results through our Quilting Board.

JANE QUILTER'S THANK-YOU:
I want to personally thank all the wonderful Quilting Board members for their sympathy, moral support, ideas, stain removing product recommendations, recipes, and new product endorsements who had nothing to gain but helping a fellow board member in distress. I truly don't know what I would have done without you, and thankfully I didn't have to find out. So, thank-you from the bottom of my heart, Jane

Jane, what a difference in your pictures. I can see all the work that went into your quilt, so to have such a hard time getting the pen lines to come out must have been almost devastating. But, you endured and kept on trying one thing after another. Your tenacity saved the quilt where others might have given up in tears. Good for you.
As I have written many times on this QB, the people here are the best and when everyone puts their head together miracles can happen. I just want to say how much I appreciate everyone.
