Thinking it would be a fantastic background, I bought 4 yards of an "ivory" tonal fabric without bringing other fabrics to go with it, brought it home and realized that it matches almost nothing! I went through my rather large stash and find very little that goes with it, some greens, but only the muddied ones. It is the ivory oil paint texture from the Van Gogh collection if you are familiar with it. I loved it, since it had such a painted feel feel to it. And it goes with others in its own collection, just not much else.

It's so weird. I've never known a beige-ish fabric to be so far toward green yes, green! The fabric appears to have a chartreuse/moss green tint to it, although it's very light. It clashes even with most neutral grounds I have. I do tend to buy warm beiges and it's far more cool. I would photograph it for you all, but I've seen pictures online and they don't look like the fabric in person at all. It's a very hard color to photograph.

I am not sure what to do. Should I tea dye it? Dye it? Stick it in my stash and see if it ever finds a place? Ugh, 4 yards of money that I can't spend on something else. I won't return it, don't want to stick anyone with my mistake.

Does anyone have this fabric? What did you do with it?

Thanks.
