I'm a diet coke addict and surprised it didn't come right out with water. Try Oxyclean or white vinegar. Peroxide works on blood, not sure it'll help here or not. Don't dry it or it will be set forever. Good luck, this will surely happen to me one day, though I try to drink favored selzer water in the sewing room. One of the many blessings in sewing is that when I'm sewing, I'm not eating.

Hot water will set a stain, so always rinse first in cool water to try and remove as much as you can. After that, I would have applied some Shout, let it sit a few minutes, then wash with a mild detergent. My daughter loves colas and I've used this method a time or two to get it out of finished quilts with excellent results. :-D
As for blood on a quilt, I was watching an episode of Simply Quilts a few years ago and Alex Anderson said the best thing for getting blood off your quilt is your own saliva. I've never had to test this myself, but she said it works every time. :D

If you can't remove...Give note with explanation and "quilt to come at later date"...This way you have time to redo another.
OH and maybe if you going to use the same top...include a picture of the top...

Following are several ideas:
Resolve stain remover for laundry, Shout, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Grandma's Secret Spot Remover, make a paste of the Oxygen/Oxyclean and work with a washcloth in small areas, rinsing well, white vinegar on a rag blotting the area, soda seltzer water.
Good luck, keep us updating on the outcome.
