Your work is beautiful. I am so sorry the colors ran.

If all of above fail (hope not) a light pink background behind your embroidery wouldn't be so bad since it IS for Valentine's :):)

agree - wet down the rest of each block to try to even it out then wash

i'm sorry that happened to you. i had a similar thing happen to me on a king size quilt. to fix mine i used the shout color catchers that are sold in the laundry aisle and i put a couple of them in my front load washer and i was able to save mine. i hope you are able to fix yours it is beautiful

Sad but it happens.I hope you can can fix it without having to rip it out. you could applique' something over it too.

blot the rest of those two blocks and smear the dye around until it looks uniform.

Aw, I would be sick too ~ but the Color Catchers do work, I even wrap a couple up with each quilt I make as gifts, and attach them in little baggies. They have saved my bootie a few times with one darn fabric that threatened to ruin the whole project.

i would wash with the dye catchers

Sounds like it is unanimous - Shout color catchers to the rescue! Pretty table runner.

I am curious for future red/white fabrics I have purchased for a quilt - did you prewash? I hope all works out - how heartwrenching to do all that work and to have that happen!
