Is there any hope for this quilt?
I have a friend who was given a beautiful quilt as a wedding gift, and she recently washed it for the first time. The quilt was blue and yellow, and unfortunately the blue bled onto the yellow and turned it green. She used some oxyclean on it, and got the green to kind of a grayish color. She was planning to get some of that Rit color remover, but I'm thinking that will probably make everything even worse. It doesn't seem to me like there's much hope for fixing it, but I told her I'd check with the experts. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

What was the fabrics used ???? Batiks???? I heard they bleed alot????? I don't have any ideas.
This serves as a reminder to make sure i wash the quilt the first time and make sure to pass along washing instructions.

Thinking a good soak in a tub (so it lay's relatively flat) with a lot of water and synthrapol might work. Certainly wouldn't hurt. Note that you need VERY hot water for synthrapol to work. I would go so far as to say that to get enough hot water in a bath tub - I'd be boiling a big ol' pot to add to the bath water. I'd also toss in a color catcher as an "indicator" to see if the darn thing is done bleeding.
I've never used the RIT color remover product.
