I might be in for that lesson, and don't know what I'm going to do.. I started making scrap squares, and didn't realize that some of the fabric wasn't washed.. When I ironed it before I cut the 6.5 square it bled on the towel on the ironing board.. That is a problem, but my first quilt I made 20 years ago was made with some of those materials, and was never washed.. I'm in a panic just thinking about it..

You may want to run a "search" on Synthrapol here, and also Google it. Used with lots of water in a first wash, Synthrapol can help suspend bleeds in the water so dye doesn't settle into other fabric.
