I agree with this. You may be stressing over something that no one else will ever notice. Rather than continue to wash the unquilted top, I would finish the top, quilt and bind it, and then wash in lots of hot water with Synthrapol. Check the rinse water to see if it's still bleeding, and if so repeat the washing cycle until it stops bleeding.
It's a little late to point this out, but sometimes batiks will bleed through more than one wash, so you need to check the rinse water to be sure they have stopped bleeding.
