Hi everyone. I really got something started with my question, huh?! Thanks for all of the responses. FYI, I ran to the store and bought a box of Shout Color Catchers. I put my red and white quilt in the washing machine and added FIVE color catchers! Then I watched with baited breath as it washed. The water was somewhat pink and when it was finished and had 5 very pink color catchers and a beautiful quilt!! I washed it once more with two catchers just to be sure and they didn't have much on them at the end. WHEW!
