I have been quilting for a relatively long time, but just made the most foolish of errors. I haven't ever really worked with reds, or at least reds with light colors, and just made a quilt that I absoutely love, all dark reds and off whites. I washed all the fabric first, then cut, stitched and competely forgot that the reds would most likely continue to bleed when I washed it again. Right now, it's done, as a top, and I am scared to death to quilt it, because I would be even more heartbroken if I did even more work and lost it to bleeding. I have read about Retayne, but everything said that it needs to be done when first washing the fabric...too late for that:-( Any suggestions?

Color Catcher ? Try washing it again with one in the water- if it comes out clean you are fine - actually with all the fabrics I have used lately - red has been the best about maintaining its color- its others that have bleed on me :thumbdown:
