Default Red berry color bled onto white fab

My friend tried to remove blue water soluable marker from a hand appliqued block. Lesson number one was that she did not check for colorfast qualities in the fabric before she started to stitch. Then she used water freely on the block to remove the blue markings, AND the red berries bled onto the white. I have shown her how to use a slightly wet Q-tip and blow dryer to remove the blue markings on the other blocks. BUT, I don't have an answer for her, on how to get the bleed out from her first block, which was where this horrible bleed occured. I am hoping that someone on the Quilting Board might have an answer to help her! As always, thanks!
