Jenny Beyer does lots of quilts in the gradations. They are done in her fabrics but it is the same thing. Try her website, many of her patterns are free. (no spell check, and I know I misspelled gradations!)

Those sure are beautiful! While I can't suggest a pattern, I do have a an idea for you. If you can't find a pattern for 7" squares, you might take 2" off two sides. That would give you matching strips for a log cabin later, and patterns for 5" blocks are everywhere. It's more work, but you would get to use those beautiful pieces twice.
Whatever you make, we want to see it!!

That link didn't work for me, either. I spent a fair bit of time at the cozy quilt site looking for the cotton rainbow!
There are some great suggestions here. I'd also love to see pictures of what other people have made with colour shades.

My boss gave me a gift certificate to the LQS and I went in with frivolity on my mind and bought something I've never used before. A couple packages of blue Bali watercolour wraps, which are 7" charm squares. In the back of my mind I was thinking of a quilt in which the colours blend into one another with a gradual shift overall, but don't have a pattern and can't find one. After a couple days of fruitless searches, I'm here looking for help. What would you do with the set? Do you have a link to a pattern suggestion? How are precut squares handled? Ah, the fun of exploring something new.
Here's a picture of what I have:
