    Don't say anything, no one will even see this small mark and It will wash out the first time they wash it.. Beautiful quilt..and you quilting is wonderful, your stitches are all the same! Did you do FMQ? just so perfect for sure.

    KG2 - I think you have this resolved now, but just for future reference, I'm a huge fan of "Grandma's Secret Spot Remover". Someone at a Hancock's Fabrics told me about it years ago and it's great. I somehow got a large black spot on a quilt I made for my gran-in-law, right on a pale green bit of cotton. Ink of some kind, but not sure where it came from or how it got there. I dabbed on GSSR in desperation, let it sit a few minutes and tossed it into the wash and the spot was removed entirely - no damage, nothing. I couldn't even tell where it used to be.

    I've used it for blood, wine, and ball-point pen now, on a variety of fabrics (including a deep red polo shirt, I was SURE that one would fade), and always the mark is totally gone and no fading or damage to be seen. I love that stuff! Works much better than Shout or those Tide stain pens.

    I'm with most. I would leave it because it is hardly noticeable.

    I would be fine with such a small, tiny "mark." I am thankful to be able to see with my one eye. Quilt looks fine to me.

    Bree123 is right. If it is ink, hairspray will get it out.

    A mountain over a molehill! Just ignore it because I am sure it will be totally unnoticed. I think that quilt is very pretty and perfect for the purpose you intended.

    Don't worry about it, I had to look and look and didn't see it, the pen was there but still not noticeable. Some one will love this perfect blanket.
