I'm with Peckish---Go to Save my bleeding quilt by Vicki Welsh. No need to make another quilt! I successfully used her method once. Follow her instructions to a T, including putting water in bins ontop of the quilt to make sure every thread stays submerged. I put my quilt in the tub entirely face down because all the bleeding was on the front---further insurance that every thread of the quilt top would stay submerged.
