I had this happen with some olive drab fabric I was using for a military themed quilt. Initially the color changed back, but I found if I pressed too long/too hot, it didn't return to the old color, and some was unusable (having turned a pink-tinged hue). I went back and got more, and pressed only on a very low setting. I would take care not to go too hot with it.

YES! There is a possibility yu have fabric that is suppose to change color with heat (not sunlight necessarily). I am finishing a quilt, and it entirely changes color, I wanted that. Years back a company named Generra out of NYC sold shirts from this fabric. I received a huge box of their sample and scraps and made the quilt top; that's been 20 years ago. And today I am nearly finished quilting it. Here's a peak!
