I was wondering what motif you used for the corner feather? Is there a pattern for it? I could probably free-hand, but would prefer a pattern. It is for my father-in-laws quilt for Christmas.
The designs I used are a collection called "Quilting Whimsy" by Diane Gaudynski. I got it on a CD. It's hard to find, but OESD still has it. It's on sale at OESD right now. http://www.embroideryonline.com/p-46...ng-whimsy.aspx

Thanks to all the replies. I have tried so many things & none have worked :(. So I have decided to just ship it to her & appoligize for the blue lines.

I plan on another quilt using the same pattern ( I love Lone Stars), different fabrics, but like colors. I will make sure I do NOT iron any blue lines this time!

Here's a close up of the some of the many embroidery designs I did on it:

There is a product you can buy that works quite well. Here is the review and link to buy it http://www.badassquilterssociety.com...e-blue-bottle/ It is called Blue Line Eraser http://www.bluelineeraser.com/. I have used it and it worked great for me.

She posted she already tried that product and it didn't work.

Sometimes the more you work on it, the worse it gets. Leave it be after trying all those things. The only thing I've ever found that took out old, set in stains was RetroClean. Pricey, but worth it. For this one, let it go. Your friend will understand! Or make another and keep this one...it is so beautiful and there's so much love poured into its completion that it just needs to be used. After awhile, you won't see the marks, just the overal beauty of a job well done.

You did a great job, your quilting is wonderful. But you are not able to iron over the washable markers, heat sets the marks (iron, dryer or even the sun). SORRY

Try some pure laundry soap and elbow grease. Best of luck.

Yes she is my Blue & Gold Macaw. Her name is JaJaBinks & she will be 16 in January. I got her at 2 years of age. Previous owners abused her. She's a great bird. Super silly & fun loving & very bonded to me.
