Well, Ladies, Glad to see that some others have had this same problem. I had to make the quilt all over, with new fabric and stayed away from red. I wish I knew who the manufacturer was but I got the fabric on a vacation and promptly through away any left over. I have never washed my flannel fabric before making a rag quilt. "I think I shall never use red again". :roll: Thanks again for all the advise!!
