Fabric suggestions please?



OK all for The One SAL on BAPXS I've decided to do Archway to Avalon by Marie Barber (well I didn't have much choice really). Cover pic here.

I wonder what
fabric to use, I don't want to do plain antique white. I was
considering a mottled blue or green but then I thought - what about a
mottled grey to simulate stonework? The entirety of what can be seen
through the window is completely stitched, so there's no need to match
the fabric to that. So I thought what about a mottled grey to simulate
a castle wall that this can be a window inside of .... or will that
blend in with the doves too much??



Then again going with this idea - I could leave out the doves and the
entire bottom row of motifs altogether and have it as just a window
inside a stone wall ....



Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?? Anyone ???????
