I am putting together Miss Rosie's pattern 'Sweet Tea'.
The blocks are all done. Yesterday I started putting the rows together. Half of the quilt is put together. I have used all batiks and it is going to so beautiful.

So here's the problem. I was carefully ironing after attaching each row, (but being a bit lazy) I sprayed the strip with a mist because I did not feel like adding water to the iron. It was late and I wanted to just add one more row and finish it in the morning.

One blue started bleeding!!!!!!! Crud! NOW WHAT???

Two weeks ago there was the long discussion on Retayne and fabric bleeding etc...
I always wash my fabrics. I have had fabric bleed only once before & YES the red batik turned the red & white quilt to pink & white quilt.

So what do I do now??
1) Find an replace all that blue with a new square.
2) Do I soak everything in Retayne bath now partially completed?
3) Do I sew it all together and then use the Retayne before it is quilted.
Or do you have a better idea?

SO far I am think of just replacing all of the color.
It would be a lot of work but I love this quilt so far-- Turning it into something else is just out of the question.

Thanks for all your suggestions. Anyone wanna come over and help me??? LOL
