Dear all,

I am making my husband a NY Yankees quilt for Christmas (at the rate I'm going it may not be THIS Christmas...).

This quilt will be a flannel rag quilt with navy and white alternating blocks--the navy flannel will have a white emblem appliqued to it and vice versa for the white flannel.

Here is my dilemma...I ordered navy fleece online from Joann's--it came in and it is a dark royal blue. NOT the same color as navy. ARRRGGGHHH!!! Should I shop around some more and see if I can find a true navy fleece (Hancock.com might have one) or should I try dyeing what I have?
I priced the dye yesterday and the color remover and packets of dye will run me about $15. For that price I am thinking maybe I can find the fabric.

Does anyone have experience dyeing fabric that is not white???

thanks for your help, this group is AWESOME!!!!
