Question How to “age” or fade fabric?

I need help from the experts! I’ve researched online about how to fade colors with bleach (using Martha Stuart’s three bucket method), but I don’t understand how to do it so the fabric doesn’t end up “splotchy”. I want my fabric to EVENLY fade, not look like a tie-dye project or a bleaching incident gone awry!

I’m planning a quilt which will have large alternating blocks of the US and UK flags. Both flags (Old Glory and the Union Jack) are red, white, and blue. I want to “mellow out” the fabric so it doesn’t have any super intense /vibrant colors.
