that is aways my fear of red I prewash and prewash and if it still bleeds i don't use it with anything light. I wish there was a easy answer but you may have to live with pink. I hate to admit it but i learned the hard way i ended up putting my bag,, (TG it was not a quilt) in some bleach water now my white was light pink and my red was pink but i liked it better it looked like I did it on purpose
