Unhappy Help, I'm bleeding....

I've spent the past two weeks working feverishly on a scrap quilt top with lots of piecing. Last night when pressing some blocks, I discovered that one of the red fabrics I used will bleed. (Found a block where my iron leaked a few drops of water & some red bled into adjoining light covered blocks.) There's not a whole lot of that fabric in the top, but I want to prevent a disaster.

Need some advise on using Retayne (I guess this is the best route to go.) Should I piece together all the blocks & attach the borders before using the Retayne? Or do I have the top quilted & bound before attempting the Retayne? I hate to have the expense of the quilting, if I can't prevent the bleeding from occurring.
