Kitsie, that is so beautiful !!! The only one I see is the polka dot and it would be no biggie for me. I love it!

As I understand it, once it's been dried(in dryer) the discoloration is permanent, but I don't see a distinct "bleeding" problem, it's a beautiful quilt.

Beautiful red and white quilt. I would leave the blocks also. What REALLY caught my eye was the Dear Jane hanging behind....WOW!

I just treated hundreds of yards of handwoven fabric from the American Textile Museum. The red ran; thankfully the blues were fine. I did one wash with the Retayne to "set" the dye, then a second wash with Synthrapol to remove the excess dye; no drying between the washes. Finally I did a regular wash with color catchers to make sure the bleeding had stopped.

Kitsie, your quilt is beautiful. Like Elsa sang..."Let It Go!" Enjoy that gorgeous work of art. Fabrics will bleed and we try our best. In the photo, I couldn't tell until I read which one it was. ��

Your quilt is beautiful. I'm sorry it bled for you, but it didn't ruin the quilt!

I am surprised by your result using Retayne. I have used that product for years and never have had any bleeding, by following the 20 minute hot water cycle instructions. Sorry it happened but I will continue to prewash my quilt fabrics using Retayne.

I will pre wash twice if a fabric is bleeding. After that the cost of washing, products, and time is more then the fabric is worth. I use the bad fabric for projects like potholders, fabric baskets, etc.
