Yes I bought a set of sunbonnets from a gal on ebay and they bled. I about fainted! The top was already finished. I hand washed it and got all of the dye out and then misted it with white vinegar and water. Vinegar sets dye... I had tones on non set blocks still so I just misted them as well. I haven't tested them because I am too busy. But, I expect them to be fine now.

Another fabric to watch out for is batiks. I Always prewash that and set the dye with vinegar.
