Default Help! Solution to marking a quilt!

I have been trying to mark my flimsy for quilting. It is a scrap quilt and there are lots of color variations. The only thing I have found that shows up is an orange chalk marker. The chalk is thick enough that it makes a line I can see. I use Dritz Chalk Cartridge. The difficulty is they only sell replacement chalk with a set of colors and there is only one orange piece. I have to pay over $8.00 to get the replacement chalk.

Does anyone have any ideas? Frixxion pens don't work because they are too thin so I have to go back and forth and back and forth. I can't use a chaco (rolling) chalk marker because I'm doing a Bishop's Fan design and the markers won't make a curve.

Would tailor's chalk work, do you think? Or any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
