It took all the pink out of the lighter colors & now the quilt looks like it should. Good luck. If you can't find the color catchers just PM me & I'll mail you a couple.

I recently used the Shout Color Catcher on one of my quilts. I was worried because I didn't pre-wash my teal batik and the majority of the rest of the quilt was white. I put a few of the Color Catchers in with the quilt and nothing bled. The Color Catchers absorbed all of the teal dye. Definitely give them a try!
