Famous longarm quilter Karen Mctavish attempted dying batting and it was a complete disaster for her! She tells about the incident in her book "Elemental Quilting". Don't risk ruining your quilt, buy the black batting on line if you can't find it locally.
Many places offer on line. If you don't have a credit card, go out and buy a prepaid one that you can use to purchase on line.

Most cotton batting is a cotton/poly blend, and polyester does not take dye. Ghostrider is right, it would end up gray. Not to mention the probability of the dye bleeding for several washes!
I'm with the rest of the crowd - buy some black batting from an online source.
