I want to make a Shakespeare in the Park and am considering using these 2 groups of fabrics (I'll have to find more to have enough variety). I am thinking of using the blue as the background fabric and the purple as the "main" fabric.
I've googled quite a bit and haven't seen an example of using darks for both parts of the quilt (there are some with mixed colors throughout though). I know the downside to this plan is that there won't be as much contrast. I'll have to make up some blocks first to see how it works out. I'm in the planning phase right now and won't start this for at least a few months. I like to have things thought out and planned before I start a quilt and I still have several other quilts I need to work on first.
Just wondering if anyone has gone down this road?
ETA: if you are unfamiliar with the pattern, here is a link to google images.
