Default Making ombré fabric for quilt

Looking for some guidance. I am planning to creat an appliquéd quilt wall hanging, which uses batiks.
the background fabric that serves as the base needs to be an ombré shaded batik that is cream, white, and teal green- overall it reads medium teal green. I need to ombré the fabric so the top 1/3 reads a light teal green with a small top area reading white.
i was thinking of wetting the piece with water then diluting bleach with water in a spray bottle and lightly spraying the top 1/3 of the fabric with a heavier spray at the outer top edge. Let the fabric dry outside, then place it in the drier if any bleach crystals form.
So to all the creative quilters, who make their own rules, has anyone done this before?
thanks so much!
