I have read and heard that you are not suppose to wash charms or jelly roils because you won't have the size or width after drying.
You may want to consider checking ANY and ALL intensely colored fabrics - including yellows. I had a Moda yellow spill color. Interestingly enough, the dark red, dark brown, and dark green pieces from the same line seemed to be color fast.
