A trick my mother told me for removing berry stains has also worked for me on blood stains. Run boiling water through the stain from about 6 inches above it. 2 tips I use a cooling rack to hold the fabric because I burned myself, also try a test sample seperate from your project.
Nurses swear by hydrogen peroxide- try on sample first.

I always tell my family that I leave those blood spots on there intentionally in case they ever need my DNA!..lol. Seriously tho, all have washed out as the quilts are laundered. It gives new meaning to the phrase "giving a quilt is like giving a part of yourself" haha

We have a lot of spitty quilts out there! Didn't realize I was starting something.
Funny topic and solution.
Just remember to rinse with the cold water if you use any of the chemicals. I personally, prefer the natural way.
