I could hardly see anything--you did a great job, just do not worry about it.

It's hard to imagine anyone noticing this, but point it out to the organizers if you think it will be on your mind.

When all the ink is gone, you can wash the quilt -- or just spot wash the area with a teeny bit of laundry soap & cold water to remove the sticky hairspray. Works every time & I've yet to see it damage any type of cotton fabric.

The yellow is a poly/cotton blend fabric from a thrift store sheet. Does that change your advice?

Step away from the spot! It is so faint that any treatment isn't necessary.

I like your quilt. The color is very calming. The mark is barely noticeable so that isn't a problem at all.

I tend to agree kenmoregal. This tiny mark will not be an issue at the auction. Nice work by the way on the quilt!

Ha!! Thanks! You guys are super. I'm done thinking about this. I've put the quilt away for the auction and I'll move on to the next project. You have eased my mind.

What mark?

BETTY62 08-02-2016 09:43 AM

The spot was very difficult to see even though you pointed it out to us. Therefore, I would do nothing. By the way, I love your quilt. The pale yellow fabric really makes the fabric you used to make your blocks pop.

I agree with others. I wouldn't do anything.
I really like your quilt. It is cheerful yet isn't too bright.
