Default Can this quilt be saved?

I made this quilt for my son's girlfriend about 2 years ago. Last week she brought it to me saying she "doesn't know what happened" and she didn't spill anything on it. Well, looks to me like she (or somebody) spilled cola on it. The stains are on all 4 corners and down both long sides so it must have been folded when it happened. Her mom tried to spot clean it and some of the red from the backing bled into the quilt top. The backing was prewashed in warm water and didn't bleed then so it shouldn't have run now. I suspect chemicals in whatever her mom used on it caused the bleeding.
Do you have any thoughts on what I can wash it with to make it better? The only saving grace is that the background is Moda Grunge with a bit of brown running though it. So if I can get some of the stains out, it may not be quite so noticeable.
