Anyway, I finally washed it and the flannel (hot pink) has bled through to the front where the quilting lines are!!!! Oh no!!!! So, so sad
Is there anything I can do now?
I put 8 color catchers in the washing machine with a pink and black quilts after a drink was spilt on it and the dye ran.. All but one of the color catchers came out of the wash looking black or purple - the final one was grey - it saved the quilt though the pink was a little duller than it had been originally.
But if all else fails could you embroider along the quilt lines and tell yourself and anyone who asks that it's an original design. Good luck.
