Default Bleeding dye question

No doubt this question has been covered before, but please help me out again on this one. I made a baby quilt for a friend who wanted lots of red in the quilt. I pre-washed the red fabric four times with color catchers until the dye no longer ran. Now as I wash the completed quilt with more color catchers, the red once again is bleeding like a stuck pig. If I use Retayne on the quilt, will that permanently prevent bleeding, even through many washings? For several reasons, my friend is not likely to be able to use color catchers each time she washes the quilt. Thanks for any help you can offer.
