i had the same thing happen to me. i used a package of color run remover made by carbona. it took all the red out of the blue and made it look new again. i got mine at joann's for 50cents a box (figured what did i have to lose?) look in the laundry aisle at the grocery store - i have seen other products made by carbona there.

Is there any help for this? I rewashed it and let am letting it air dry.

When using different types of fabrics together, you should ALWAYS, ALWAYS pre-wash everything!!
When using FLANNEL you should ALWAYS, ALWAYS pre-wash. Flannel shrinks a lot. And you can see that the darker colors almost always run some.
Try the color catcher idea above.

I've posted before about Awesome. a cleaning liquid. If you can find it soak your quilt overnight in it and wash as usual.. It got red out of one of my quilts that had been washed and dried several times.
