Rapunzel Fabric Dyed and Ready

So I took all of your ideas into account and gray and green were about half and half.  So what did I choose?

I went with gray mixed with a bit of dark purple.  The fabric is still pretty light as I didn't want it to overwhelm the darkness of the pattern.  And I thought the purple will pull out the purple of the pattern and the gray will pull out the black lace on her shoulder and in the bottom of her dress.

I was going for a storm cloudy look.  Since Rapunzel still has long hair I wanted the background to reflect that.  She hasn't been rescued yet and is stuck in her tower which is kind'be the storm before her happy ending.  Made sense to me lol.  

I thank you guys for all of your input it made the decision easier!  I'm really fighting gridding my fabric now because I need to finish paradise!

    I think it's fun to stitch on colored fabric! So I'm glad you went ahead with dying the fabric as it turn out great! You could always consider a rotation between this and Paradise, or just swap projects whenever you want to change things up for a bit ;)

      I'm thinking about it but I really want to get Paradise done for my cousin. I'm almost done with the top row orange and the next page should see the sun or at least the sky above it but I'm finally getting some different colors in the part I'm stitching now. I get my first new color next!

    Yay, your fabric looks wonderful and stormy! :D Dyeing fabric seems like it would be fun although knowing me, a big mess waiting to happen.

    I'd be fighting the urge to grid too, go go Paradise powerrrrr. :D

    It sounds like you're not stitching the background in which case Rapunzel will really stand out on the fabric. :)
