My 1st quilt thta ran in the washer was for my mother. Didn't catch the red on the white till after I took it out of the dryer. I thought it was a goner but someone here told me to just throw it into the wash again with another color catcher. And to my surprise the red came out just fine. Now I check all over the quilt before I throw it into the dryer just to save myself the frustration. Those color catchers are great.
