At my house here on the island 30minutes at the most if you are lucky! BTW very cute feet! Yes I see them!!!!  very cute quilt and great quilting!

 

Oh and Urban Elementz is having their 25% off sell this week. They have a very cute panto of feet, hands, and feet with hands. Yep I have those too! :D

I use a water-dispensing pen to run over any balky purple marks--and I use the purple pens exclusively for marking. It can take up to a week here, depending on humidity and how fresh the pen is. You'd think a place that already passed the average rainfall mark for May on the 5th would be more humid--but we're not, thank goodness!

By the way, your feet are cute! ;)

Cute, cute, cute! Yep, I can see the feet. I'm surprised you're having trouble getting the purple to go away. I don't often use those pens because the marks don't stay long enough for me to get the quilting done before they're gone. You could try opening a window, except the pollen from the hedge bushes might choke you to death. Spritzing would probably work. Or as Heidi suggested, dab it with a wet Q-tip. 

 

Linda, May hasn't been that bad here (except for the tornadoes), but we've already had 27" of rain so far this year.

I have one here that has had purple marks for over two weeks. After I bind it I am putting it in the washing machine. 

Yes, I can see the feet.  How cute.  I did something similar one time with hand prints. I used a handprint cookie cutter and traced around it, then quilted it.

Spritz it with a spray bottle of water. Let dry, if marks aren't all gone spritz again and let dry. Air dry of course. Winter here they can last a long time. In the summer with the swamp cooler on, they are gone before your done marking. It is all humidity.

Sometimes they take forever to go away.  Some days, I can't even finish quilting a simple design with them before they are gone and I'm left wondering where my trail went.  They do eventually disappear.  Sometimes I think it's like a watched pot.  As long as you're expecting them to go, they won't.  I've returned quilts to a customer with them still in, and told them to let me know if they aren't gone within a few days.  They always vanish.
