I think I'd use a ladder stitich too, like doing applique. Since the spot is small, less than 2", you might try using matching color thread and machine sewing it down right on the very edge of the sashing, or border, whichever is "on top". I promise it will virtually disappear and *you* will be the only one to ever really see it once the quilt is bound and washed.
