I agree, put in a color catcher and wash it again.

Just so you all know rewashing didn't change anything and the color catchers were a pretty red too.

Oh, some art quilters use those, just a word to the wise. I do art quilts, but NOT the fabric catcher type.

Well, speaking of stupid, I had snagged a pretty piece of fabric from my DMIL's stash and decided that I should do a burn test on it to make sure that it was cotton and not a polyester blend. Unfortunately I forgot to drop the scrap of fabric that I was testing into the kitchen sink and ended up with a second-degree one-inch burn on my forearm. And of course this was made even worse by the fact that there was definitely poly in the fabric and I can't use it in the quilt I was planning.
