I had the same thing happen. I am not certain how many times I had washed the quilt but it was probably 5 or 6 times. I had complained about it and was going to take it to our guild meeting to see if anyone had any suggestions. I decided to wash it before I took it. I had changed laundry soap and the new one had oxy on the label. Would you believe the remainder of the blue washed out? I was a very happy camper.
