However, I use a a wide value range of 20-200 colors in my quilts and the only way to manage that is through years of collecting. For the square in a square you'll be enjoying, or others in your future, a nice range of fabric can be found at Mary Jo's of Gastonia, Hancocks of Paducah, or even the Bella range at Whittles.com.
