I made a double wedding ring quilt with some reds and washed the quilt. They did bleed. So after searcing the Internet, I tried a method several suggested. Fill the washing machine with cold water and 1/4 cup of Dawn platinum agitate it some to distribute the detergent. Put in the quilt and let it soak at least 12 hours. Spin the water out and I dried mine in the dryer to prevent as much bleeding as I could. This did take out the first bleeding. But there are few spots where it did bleed thru to the back along the stitching from the quilting. I would be tempted to make it a display quilt and never wash it. I called the dry cleaners and they said it could even bleed in dry cleaning. Sorry for your distress.
