OK, so I've been staring at this a lot and trying to decide which way I will like it best. DH likes the marble colors but I like the way the solids look on the border, so he suggested marbles in the center and solids in the border. The picture doesn't have the colors quite right, but you can get the idea. What do you think?
I have found the fabrics at Hancocks of Paducah and I will order them as soon as I make a decision. At this point I'll probably order enough to make it all in solids, and enough Moda marble to use for the top if I end up liking that better.

So I finally made the decision to go with solids because I wasn't able to find marbles or any other fabric in 12 progressive shades like I need. It was pretty hard to find the 12 solids, and they're not perfectly matched, but I think they will work. Here they are. I got 10 of them from Hancock's of Paducah (I bought many blues from them and returned many, as well--they were great to deal with)and found 1 in my small stash, and 1 in Walmart.
