Maybe take it to a dry cleaners. They have been know to work miricles! Good luck!
If it hasn’t gone in the dryer yet…Try Lestoil(the oily stain remover)it smeals but it gets blood and red wine out…Air dry after Let me know how it worked.(dont worry the smeals will b gone too!
Rit Dye also makes a color remover. It should be at most stores along with the dyes. I have used it sucessfully to return material to the original color. good luck
Wash it a few time in hot water and Synthrapol detergent, chances are most of the dye will come out. Don’t use color remover it will discharge the whole quilt!
Dharma Trading Co. has synthrapol at a good price.
Oh no! This happened to me once but I rescued it ~ phew! Put your quilt back into the machine and instead of detergent, use about 3 cups of salt (regular table salt) and warm water. Something about the salt wicks out the dye bleed. Good luck, sweetie!

Hi Cindy…I have not heard of this solution before. I’m filing it away for any future disasters on the quilt front. Thanks for sharing! –Scarlett
