ignore the "2 minutes to dry" comment. It is more like 10 minutes. I just have a bad habit of saying 2 minutes to everything!

The EASIEST and SURE FIRE way to get the blue marker off is actually to use ICE COLD water. I put some ice cubes with my cup of water and wait until it is really cold. Comes out and never comes back. No soaking.

I have found if I really soak the quilt, the blue marker washes through the fabric and down into the batting. It shows up later as it dries. So I would advise to really wring out the sponge. That way all the marker comes up on the sponge, and not down inside the quilt layers.
