The sashing on my quilt is a purplish/pink batik and it needs to be cleaned. I attached a pic. What do you recommend?

Use a shout color catcher or maybe a couple of them in cold water on the gentle cycle.

did you make it? did you prewash the fabric?

very nice colors and design,by the way.

Amma is right. Use more than one color catcher.

Yes I made it. My first quilt. I did not prewash fabric.

Your quilt is truly beautiful. Both the colors and design are a great combination.

As for washing it, go with what the "experts" have said. I am a newbie.

You could also take a wet white washcloth and go over the purple to see how stable the color is.
I don't know if I would trust a colorcatcher, have not had good luck with them.

I concur with the cold water.
