With using color catchers, It seems many fabrics will release excess dye. What is interesting to me is that not all fabric will absorb excess die.

I had one quilt with a navy print that bled, and I washed it several times. And it bled again when washed after quilting. The other colors were pink/red with white prints. Some of them turned a bit blue, and many of them stayed bright. And yes, I used color catchers. My son took the quilt, he liked that the pinks were toned to blue.


But that was only the second of about 100 quilts that I had problems with - so only two fabrics that caused problems in completed quilts.
