Thanks for the suggestions. I am very disappointed because I thought I was doing everything right. I prewashed and I used color catchers. This is not my first Quilt of Valor, it is my 5th, and I have never had any kind of a problem.

I have a regular washing machine. I made sure it was washing in plenty of water. I have washed this quilt four times, each time with 3 color catchers, and the last time with a stain remover and a white enhancer thing as well.

But I have given up. It is what it is. Our guild is making 32 Quilts of Valor for vets at an assisted living center in town. I have made 2 and plan to make another. I have learned my lesson though and will be extra careful before I make this third one.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Here is the quilt. It looks okay, sort of. It looked a lot better before it bleed. I am not sure the committee will accept it, and I don't blame them.
