If you have a HE washing machine, please be sure to add extra water to the tub when you wash your quilt. My mom just messed up a quilt she made me - red fabric that ran - and we think the reason might be because she didn't have enough water in the tub to keep the dye off the fabric (but it only "clung" to one of the four other fabrics; go figure). She used color catchers and did everything else right - but the water level was quite low. She didn't notice it and dried the quilt, so now I'm trying to figure out how to get the color off the squares where it deposited.
