Default textile center garage sale finds and a question about hand dyed fabric

I went the the textile garage sale at the U of M a few weeks ago. My catch-12 1/2 yards total with 1- 4 1/2 yard cut 25 FQ and a Marshalls/tj maxx oversized reusable shopping bag of scraps ( love scrappys)
and an extension table for my sewing machine. All for $42! My question is there were some hand dyed & hand painted fabrics, can I use them in a quilt? How do I wash them and keep them from bleeding or will just washing do it. Or should I just save them for art quilts? Thanks for any ideas
