Lisa I just sent a tip into Marcus Bros about this. I was in walmart the other day looking at the paint color cards to pick out some paint to re-do my bathroom. When a light went on in my head...each of those paint cards has a graduated set of colors that match. Pick the color value you want and take the paint card to the fabric dept and pick out colors from each of the shades on the card. They will blend perfectly. Each card usually has 4 different colors on them. If you want more colors in your quilt just take the next card in line of that color family.
