Just finished a red-work design for a swap... the blanked color bled and ruined two months work... when I washed the block to remove the template pencil ink (it was pink and some places showed)...now I have to start back at square one for this person's block!
Have you dried it in the dryer? If not you might want to try Oxiclean or Borax- light solutions to get out the bleeding.
