Question Colors and textures for a stained glass butterfly quilt

I want the best results but I don't think I understand the process.

I really want my quilt to look like a stained glass window. I'm going to use it as a window quilt. Here are the considerations.

The room is done in yellow through bluegreen.
The neutrals used in the room are brown and cream.
I would like the butterfly quilt to be in the same color scheme.

Now should I choose all botique fabrics so they look like stained glass?
I'm partial to fabrics that have metalic in them, could I use them? If so should they be in the butterfly or in the "glass" parts of the design?
How do I get the "glow" in the stained glass quilt?

I really appreciate all the help you give me.
