I would test them for colorfastness. I use a white muslin or wash cloth...dampen in warm water and rub across the fabric...if it's going to bleed...color will show on the white cloth.

Take the ones that bleed (I'm betting it won't be many) and soak those in warm water with dawn dish soap... then rinse using a color catcher in the water.

All the colors are in 1/4 yard cuts. I am afraid to start because with the white background and many bright colors I am afraid of bleeding even with color catchers, cold washes, etc.

What would you do?
