I think you'll get pretty decent results with your latest layout.
I don't have any photos of the uncut strips handy, but this is a bargello fabric I made last month for a bag.
the batch "started" at the brown, and went to the left.

I think the amount of yellow is fine... it's your "sparkle" and you don't want to over-do a good thing.
I too would go shopping but replace #8 -OR- #9 with something between 8/9 and #5, so to create more of a gradual blend.
It will be lovely! Good luck.

Here are your fabric arrangements so far. I think the 3rd is the best.

Really pretty fabric choices!
If it were up to me, I would look for a fabric to go between 8 & 5 as has already been mentioned and also one to put between 4 & 7 as that is a big jump in brightness.
In addition I would consider replacing #6 as on my screen anyway it seems to be a different blue from the rest (more hinting at aqua).
Can't wait to see how this comes out! I know it will be lovely.

Can you give me an idea of what to replace it with? Another yellow maybe since there are so many blues?

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.

Looks like 7 and 4 are your lightest and should be on the end.
