as long as it's a natural fiber (cotton, silk, wool) you can dye it and have lots of (surprising fun) doing so.
Go to the thrift store and buy some cheap fabric/bedsheets, clothes and such. Take it home and wash it to make sure there is no sizing in it. Than dye it! I also like to buy fabrics that are cheap enough that to me are ugly to dye and get all sorts of results. It makes for wonderful background canvas to thead paint, stamp on, or use paints to draw your own one of a kind project. Or simply use whatever it comes out as in your quilting.
