why not experiment and try to use the fabric and the bleeding to your advantage? pair it with a white or other light fabric - make a simple star or other design ensuring that the lighter fabric is in pieces large enough to show "dye creep", then wash to see what turns out....might be something really cool. local shop owner had it happen to her by accident- the dye seeped into the adjacent white fabric and made the most wonderful shading. If you're adventurous, it may be worth the time.
