To me solids or prints isn't necessarily the issue, it would be staying within the right color spectrum. I would probably have to add some color other than the white picture frame border, although now that I say that I did a blue and white quilt for my son's high school graduation (school colors.) The lay out is intriguing. Make sure you post a finished project picture! And maybe an update on your fabric once you choose it! Always interesting to see what others are working on.
