Will This Work for a Shakespeare in the Park --dark for the background

I will disagree with the majority. I think that would made a very beautiful low-contrast quilt, if you would be happy with one. Not all quilts need to be high contrast, an not all contrast needs to be from value. I look to hue and color temperature for contrast as well as value.

If you don't have a lot of contrast, why go through all the work of making this pattern.

I have an idea. Use the black and white picture or make your own by laying folded fabrics on the glass of your printer overlapping them and choose black to print. Print a picture of the fabrics. Then line up the fabrics from darkest to lightest and rescan. Maybe you will determine which would work for the darkest pieces and which would be for the lightest. I would try it with one block and see what you get. You could always then throw in a darker or lighter fabric to get the design you want. Please post a picture of your end result.
