Years ago I made a baby blanket and the white parts were to bright for my taste, and dusty colors were in fashion. I tea dyed and was delighted with the outcome. The muting was subtle but consistent overall. No one ever knew the fabrics weren't actually those muted color to begin with. I did mine in the washing machine. I steeped 12 tea bags in hot water, filled the washing machine with water on small setting, poured in the tea, added the quilt and let it start to do gentle aggitation. Mine did not mottle.
