You can easily convert the pictures you've already taken to black & white using Paint.net. It's free to download & fun to play with. I use it often for printing black & white pictures on fabric.
Here are your fabric arrangements so far. I think the 3rd is the best.
Plus 8 & 9 are so very close in color and in value, that if this is the number of fabrics you need, I'd replace one of them and get another value in there between 8 & 5 in the last photo like someone suggested.
