I am so sorry this has happened to your quilt. Call me a chicken but I avoid white and red even with colour catchers for that reason. I looked at that beautiful exhibition of red and white antique quilts and wonder how they managed back before retayne, synthrapol and colour catchers? Maybe with continued washing the colour will come out of the white? I don't know how you can fix it now. If you ask for the quilt back to wash it in synthrapol, will she feel insulted that you think she hasn't washed it properly? You could ask if it bothers her with the whites being pink and offer to try to correct it? What a dilemma!
