Walking Backwards

I have run into a project quandary today. I have this great old vintage sheet that I found while thrifting last week (probably my last thrifting for a while since I've been doing it while Nico was in school) and I was planning on cross-dying it. It is orange and yellow and, while not really all that bad, it doesn't match anything in our house.



The pattern is great though and I love the shading on it. So I was just going to cross-dye it blue to go with everything in our bedroom. But it is such a great example of a 1970s pattern and it is in perfect condition with no rips and tears and the colors are really quite nice for being orange and yellow, I am just feeling guilty about it. I don't want to ruin it. While it only cost me $1.50, I think that it would be a great waste to have to throw the thing away or being unhappy with it in the end. Plus, I like being able to go into my fabric stash and just look at it. Maybe if I start finding more good stuff like it, I'll be able to pull the trigger.
