It is such a faint mark that I was hard-pressed to even see it. If you use any experimental product on it, odds are there could be a big disaster for nothing. Just leave it.

The yellow is a poly/cotton blend fabric from a thrift store sheet. Does that change your advice?
Truly, it's not a problem & although it would bug me as the quilt donor (we all have our crazy idiosyncrasies), I wouldn't even expect it to be mentioned if I were the buyer. |

I hesitate to proceed because I don't want to damage the quilt.
This will be sold at a fundraising event. I could point out the spot to the organizers before the auction. What would you do?? I'm at a loss. [ATTACH=CONFIG]555147[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]555148[/ATTACH] I would sew on a small butterfly appliqué over the spot- turn it at an angle and it will be perfect. It's a joke with my friends, that if they see a butterfly on my quilt, it's a cover up. But it works. And actually makes it cutier!! :) |
I don't see a thing! If it really bothers you try Bree's suggestion, hairspray does work. Having said that, I still don't see a spot and don't think anyone else will!!

spot on quilt
Hair spray will sometimes take out ball point ink. If you use it you will have to wash the quilt afterwards. I would just leave it alone. The spot is very insignifcant. Diane C.

I don't think it would have been standing out if you hadn't pointed it to us - lol - it is a LOVELY quilt!

I'm with those who say "what spot", and as another has said, an applique or small bit of embroidery can cover and enhance at the same time. When my children were growing up, most of their clothing and bedspreads had applique or a small embroidered animal, flower, or tree scattered on them. You really are sweating the small stuff.

Thanks for the most recent replies! I am definitely doing nothing. I'm glad to hear so many of you think it's too small to worry about.

I can't imagine someone receiving this nice quilt, would nit pik....I sure wouldn't. If it bothers them, then let them fix it! I'd ignore it.......
