Its still a beautiful quilt - this sounds like a display quilt or is it for a judging show? I don't think it looks that bad either - you could just call it a "custom - one of a kind" dye job. I think most of us here are harder on ourselves than others - look at all the positives - beautiful colors, great pattern, excellent quilting design - really we have no control over the fabric bleeding - so I say hold your head high and go forth.
