i had the same thing happen to me. i used a package of color run remover made by carbona. it took all the red out of the blue and made it look new again. i got mine at joann's for 50cents a box (figured what did i have to lose?) look in the laundry aisle at the grocery store - i have seen other products made by carbona there.

i would baste color catchers or carbona over the offending area and wash again.

I will look for the color catcher stuff at the grocery store today. Thank you for all your help.:)

When using different types of fabrics together, you should ALWAYS, ALWAYS pre-wash everything!!
When using FLANNEL you should ALWAYS, ALWAYS pre-wash. Flannel shrinks a lot. And you can see that the darker colors almost always run some. Try the color catcher idea above. |
Try the GrabIt from Joann's. It has worked for me. Do not ever put the GrabIt in the dryer or it looses it ability to remove the dye that ran. Just let it air dry. I would air dry the quilt also.

Put it back in the wash with a dye catcher/dye magnet.

I've posted before about Awesome. a cleaning liquid. If you can find it soak your quilt overnight in it and wash as usual.. It got red out of one of my quilts that had been washed and dried several times.
