Which bargello were you doing again? I have all the bargello books, maybe I could help with a direction if I knew that. Also, were you set on the gray? Depending on the pattern, maybe going towards the purple side for your first four would be a better transisition and you might find some fabrics in that color way. Without them being face to face and only a photo, little hard to be sure of colors in their true form. Also, as I have found out, it does take time to find all the fabrics when you are working with 24 of them for a quilt and they all need to flow.
