Thanks so much!
I have done a lot of bargellos and I think strips 1 and 10 will not blend in anywhere. They have too much pattern and color variation. Look for fabrics that "read" more plain. And someone mentione taking a black and white photo. That would work as would taking a bit of each fabric and making a black and white copy on a copy machine. That way you only get values - not colors, and it's easier to see the gradation.
