I don't think that bleach is the safe way to go especially for an infant. If the orange is an absolute must for your quilt I would, if you haven't already, go on line and search the different fabric stores. They frequently carry things not available in brick and mortar stores. As mentioned peach is a good alternative. I have a feeling you will be fine without it. Best of luck

Try even more names such as "cantaloupe" or "melon" - although I am not sure what colors melon will bring up.

What about using the "back" side of the flannel? Often it is a lighter color in all fabrics.

Orange is a difficult color to find in may shades and coordinate with other fabrics. Try the peach, melon, salmon colors or the best bet may be to change the color palette entirely.

FYI: Hydrogen Peroxide neutralizes bleach, stops the bleaching process. I keep a bottle of it in my laundry room in case I spill any bleach.

I hate the thought of you bleaching fabric and then putting it into a quilt. Please take a picture and post it. You might be seeing a glaring gap in your color story that no one else will notice. Cathie
