I selected one section of the heartbreaker quilt to treat with a bleach pen, and then I washed the quilt with a color grabber. I did this twice.
After both treatments and washes the grabber sheets came out the same color: yellowish green. Yep. The quilt is still shedding dye.
Here's how the treated section looked after the second wash.
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the treated section with an untreated section. The bleach pen worked better than I thought, and while it didn't do much for the yellow migration stains, it lightened the green splotches a lot. So I'll keep at it and see if I can clean it up a bit more.

Don't use the bleach pen too much. Don't want to weaken the fibers too much, but it really did lighten it a lot!
