Using the flannel with a dark quilt top really doesn't solve the problem, since anything that rubs up against the flannel may get some of that excess dye on it. (As demonstrated by Nikki's DH.) I might try setting the dye with Retayne and washing a time or two more, but if that doesn't work I would have to toss the fabric out, or ask at guild if anyone could use it, knowing that it bleeds.
