Amma,
I think I understand now what you're saying about the strips not having to be pieced together--do you mean that I don't want to have seams in the middle of peices because they would show up on solids?

there are 7 blues shown; maybe I can use those in combination with some of the batiks. What do y'all think of that?
Those blues have very nice tone/hue to them, I think they would be good to use as a starting point.
I think I would buy enough yardage so these strips don't have to be pieced together, it is hard to do this without it being really noticeable with solids.
Batiks, blenders and such would look beautiful, but you will lose part of the effect with them. It won't be quite as dramatic as your example, IMHO.
