Default Color thoughts - would this work in theory?

I'm thinking of doing a quilt with only one print fabric and the rest solid colors of fabric that are also in the print fabric. It would be the one print fabric with 4 or 5 solid colors of fabric. The print fabric would be the main focus in a large center block (Beacon of Lights Block) Plus a few smaller blocks of the Beacon of Lights Block, surrounded by Delectable Mountain Blocks.

The Beacon of Lights Block would have the center being the print fabric, and the other parts of that block would consist of 4 other solid colors.

All of the Delectable Mountain Blocks would be two solid colors, all of these Blocks being the same two colors thoughout the quilt. A cream for the mountain background, and green for the mountains, a little darker than the green on the print fabric.

What are your thoughts on something like this? As in one print and the rest being solids? The print is a medium print, full with little background showing, with birds, leaves, and flowers filling the fabric in soft colors of fawn brown, pale green, soft peach, a slightly darker peach, and cream.

The colors I have look great together, I'm mainly wondering about only having one print. I'm really looking at that print to be the focus of the quilt (will also be the borders) as the fabric is special to me and I don't want other prints to draw it away from the focus.
