Default Can't Find Enough Lights for my Log Cabin Quilts--Any Suggestions?

So, I saw this quilt --http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2013/...-Tutorial.html

a while back and it really inspired me to do a few scrappy (but somewhat controlled scrappy with respect to colors and tones of fabrics) log cabins. However, I've noticed that my stash has very, very few print on whites/off whites so I need to get lots of different light prints to be able to make these. I have 2 quilts in mind that I want to do--one with bright colors from Me and My Sisters lines (Dilly Dally, Giggles, Amelia, and Twirl) and another with soft medium pastel tones from the Coquette line (I have one yard cuts of 18 of the tone on tone prints from this line--pink, yellow, lavendar, blue and green).

If you know of any fabric lines that have some white/off whites with subtle prints I would love to know the names so I can try to hunt them down. While I feel like I want to make these right now, I feel like it may take a while to accumulate enough good lights. I only have two LQS in my area so I don't have a lot of choices to see things in person so I do most of my shopping online. Thanks.
