Looking back and forth between your tartan and the Quebec tartan, as best I can tell the two are the same, only with different colours.
That brings up the issue of whether it would be considered a new tartan, or not.
Because, if I understand the protocol (such as it is) when one changes the colours the tartan is still regarded as being the same tartan. Maybe it's a grey area. Because there are various colour variants of Royal Stewart (black, camel, grey, navy, white, etc) which are all still called "Stuart" (Black Stewart, Navy Stewart, etc) but on the other hand the colour variant of Royal Stewart with a royal blue background is called MacBeth.
Something to consider; somebody who doesn't know the correct name might end up calling your tartan "Black Quebec" or "Quebec Hunting".
Anyhow here's another stab at following the crest only, but reducing the white and trying to make it look "more like a tartan"
