Of course I didn't notice it at the time, but when I was looking at a quilt I'd made the other day, I noticed tiny little specks of blood on it from where I had obviously pricked my finger with the needle. Has that ever happened to any of you? and if so, did you try to wash it out or did you just leave it?

As a hand appliquer, I am always jabbing myself and getting blood on my blocks.
I was told years ago that your own saliva will take out blood. It works, on new blood anyway, not sure on dried.
I usually immediately wet the spot with my saliva, and wash in cold water. Presto, the spot is gone.
Don't know if it will work for you, try wetting the spot with cold water, then your saliva, wait a couple of seconds and then wash again, repeat if you need to.
Hope it works, let us know for future reference.

I have been told your own saliva is the best way to take out your blood. I don't know if this works or not, the thought is gross. I think it depends on how noticable it is and if it would come out with a baby wipe, I have found they are good for taking some spills off.

Is the blood on colored fabric or white. Many years ago my Home Ec teacher helped me with a red stain (strawberries, I think) that I got on my white shirt during cooking class. She diluted a little bleach in water and we dabbed it on the stain until the stain was gone.
