For what it's worth, I've done a couple of things using reds, reds and white -- so you see the similarities, same problem with a different color. I did some research online -- I found a product (and I have no financial interest whatsoever in this product) that I use. I test all fabrics for bleeding -- if they bleed, I use Ritz Laundry Treatment Dye Setting liquid. My very first quilt, a whole-cloth, with red (yes, a beautiful color, but hate it's tendency to bleed). My cousin (who was the owner of a quilt shop in Oklahoma before she passed away) cautioned me to check the fabric for bleeding -- guess what -- it did bleed, profusely. That's when I began my internet search! I've never had anything bleed after being treated, so I check every color before I cut it -- it's much easier to wash it and treat it before.
