I've use the shout color catchers before and they work fine, so if you decide to wash that's what I would use. Can't wait to see the pictures.
I prefer the Carbona color catchers to shout because you can use them over and over. I would wash the finished quilt for sure. I hope you have a chance to take and share some pictures before you send it off!
I buy vintage quilts, many of which need washing. It works best to use cold water and a soap formulated for delicate / quilt fabrics. On really strong reds, or very old fabrics we test first by pressing a clean damp white cloth to the fabric. Bleeders usually give up some color. Can't wait to see the pictures!
