I agree with what NJ Quilter said. Particularly, to examine the quilt for bleeding while it's still wet. If you dry it, with the bleeds, it will be almost impossible to get them out. Batiks with really saturated colors always seem to bleed a lot for me. The other thing is to use a top loader. If you have a front loader, take it to a laundromat. You need to have a lot of water for the color catchers to work.
