OMG, I am *so* sorry you're going through this after all the work that went into that amazing quilt. It is glorious. I hope one of the suggested solutions will work for you.

My solution hasn't been mentioned yet ... art stores sell markers for fabric or paint that comes out in a pen (I don't know how else to explain it) ... if you bring in a scrap of the fabric, you could test the paint on it, and see which one hides it

It would be permanent, and at least it would hide the blue.

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this ... I'd be very ticked at myself too!!!! On the plus side, it really isn't noticeable from 3 feet away!!!

Applique something over the corners. What if you used some of the prints and appliqued a thin strip (the size you used in the pieced borders) over the blue line? Or applique a square in each corner.

Did you use detergent when you washed the quilt? Some products react with detergents.. Rinse the quilt again in a couple of clean rinse waters. Then apply the blue line eraser product again. If that doesn't work try rubbing achohol. It takes out ink.

The quilt is fantastic. You did a beautiful job. I am so sorry that you have had the problem with the blue marker. I use the Frixion pen and don't have any problem with ironing it and it still comes out after washing. Not that it helps you with this one. I hope you are able to get it out. 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.

Be careful using an outside hose on your quilt unless you let the hose run for 5 minutes first. Hoses have green algae and the algae will stick to the quilt and can create mold growth and or mildew. You can pour bleach down the hose and let it sit, then attach the hose to the outside spicket turn the hose on and the water will flush the hose. Ask me how I know. I was doing a test quilt that was going to a pet rescue shelter.

I am so sorry but I would give it to them that way and say that you think it will come out in time, they will appreciate it and love it anyways. However I am very disappointed that the Blue Line Eraser product didn't work. I purchased some at the Houston show and I remember them saying it would take it out even if it had been ironed (which is supposed to make it permanent). I think I would try emailing them and asking about it - can't hurt

I would rather have the blue line then have applique or any other patch over the beautiful stitching.

What a gorgeous quilt! I once had a lipstick go through the wash and dryer and I asked the housekeeper of an elderly gentleman that I took care of what to do and she told me to put the clothes in a plastic bin with oxyclean and water and leave it be for a week, just opening it once each day and agitating it. I was amazed to find that after the week went by the lipstick was gone. Maybe This would work for your quilt.

What a beautiful quilt - I would be sick also if I did this - however, I wonder if you could use some of those paint sticks or whatever they are called that you can color on your quilt. I have seen quilts that the quilting design (feathers) were colored in and they really pop - perhaps that is a new idea for you to try.
