I guess I'll keep washing it until no more dye comes out. Then I'm hanging it out to dry (e.g. whatever is left will get set by the heat).
(Yes the fabrics were pre-washed before piecing and quilting).
So sorry to hear your troubles. Thats a LOT of teal and I don't think bleach as someone suggested will help. Iam not familar with the other products mentioned but at this stage what do you have to lose other than unwanted teal color. Once you get some more of the color out, then hanging it out in bright sunlight might help since the fabric that is so unstable may fade in the sunlight. Try going on line to get some color catchers and see if that will help. If you can get the faded dye out, You could try setting the color with cold water and salt, but I would suggest drycleaning from here on out. :-( :-(
