I love my husband, But........
#1
I went away for the weekend to a friends cottage to quilt. When I returned, my husband had seemingly done me a favor and as he calls it "freshen up" the quilts on the beds. He happened to wash a vibrant red and white quilt, proceeded to dry it in the dryer not realizing the red ran all over the white. So my question is. How do I get that nice pinky tone in the white to disappear without disturbing the red. You gotta love men who like to help :hunf:

Just wash it again (and maybe again!) with some Shout Color Catchers in the machine. I probably overdo it, but I use several with a regular size quilt and I use 4-6 for larger quilts that I have to take to the front-loaders at the laundromat.
I'd use some OxyClean in there, too.
Don't dry the quilt in between washings - just keep washing until the pink is gone. Hope it only takes one or two! Good luck! :)

Someone on the board recently had a major bleed and successfully got it out!
I believe it was those Shout color catchers.
Wish I could remember who it was. Maybe somebody will.
Sorry to hear this but I don't think it's hopeless.

Hi....that would be me who had a major red/white bleed issue. Use the Shout color catchers!!! They work fabulously kind of like a miracle! I soaked mine with a couple of the c.c. cloths,then spun it out and put freshcc cloths in and washed it.VOILA`all the red came out perfectly! I am a huge believer in those dye catchers!!
