I've never heard of anyone marking a quilt with an
ink pen. Years ago they used pencils. There are dissappearing pens and pens that will come off with water.
I doubt the ink will come out of the fabric.
Using something strong enough to remove the ink may damage your fabric.

Thanks for the spell check!!!! I hate it when my brain stalls on me!!!! vin*e*gar!!!!
Yes! I had faith that it would work too!! I read this in a book from the 1800's that ammonia will lift all heavy chemicals from store bought detergents that if you soak your item one hour in ammonia/water prior to washing, all additives and stains will be gone and especially dish towels would be renewed!! Add a little vinegar and both together will rid the item of odors. Ratio was 1c. to the gallon. So only a tiny bit is needed for a small basin of water. Will soak in ammonia/vinegar (correct spelling vin * e*gar) and I can even add a little baking soda too for the softness feature. WD-40 to the rescue!!!
:D

Take a pic of it when the ink is all gone... I have hope for you.. .and the quiti quilt
I had a carpet cleaner tell me this when I asked him what was he using in the can that was covered with duct tape.... and also from the auto store, an engine cleaning product you spray on and rinse it quicklie... Yes, that was the 2 products he had tapped with the duct tape....I was so surprised and now when I have a stain I use it and it works!!!Especially if it is a petrolium based ink!! just try a small spot first... its worth a try than having to rid the quilt....

What about soaking it in Oxyclean for a while??? I know it seems to take out those old rust stains on white clothing if you soak one day, make a new solution, soak again, make a new solution and keep doing this for about 3-4 days.
