A good friend of mine just had her personal quilt shop flooded with about 12" of mud and water. She does quilting for the public and has some things that will be ruined that belonged to customers.
Don't think that quality quilt fabric will not bleed if it gets a chance. I brought home some of it to try to salvage by washing it before it gets a chance to mildew.
There are two baby quilts that are printed panels that have something that bled on the back and two Christmas panels that are quilted but they have bled on themselves as has several other lengths of fabric.
I know now if I didn't know before why fabric needs to be washed before putting it into a quilt.
One quilt a customer made from some really nice fabric, some of that Lovely and it bled badly, so will anything else if it is dark, purple, red, blue, green it doesn't matter it will bleed if given a chance.
Unless it is a precut it will be washed before it goes into my shop.
