Opinions?

How will this pattern look when fulled? I plan to alternate dark stripes with light flowers, and light stripes with dark flowers. Should I keep going, or do something simpler? Any advice?

I'm working back and forth rather than in the round.

I'm afraid that the lighter color is going to be absorbed by the black after fulling so much that you won't be able to make out the pattern. can you stop there and full that bit and see how it turns out? :)

I would be tempted to maybe add a few more stitches of the lighter color around the pattern to make it pop a bit more.

The dark colour is actually dark brown.

Hmmm... stitching around the flowers sounds like a good idea... :)

Having absolutely no experience of fulling/felting, I'd have to say, it feels as though the lighter colour would indeed disappear in the darker...It isn't substantial enough.

I have to agree with everyone above. I think you will lose your lighter colour. Could you make the pattern bigger, ie. two stitches for every one block of pattern?
