It seems like it would be very difficult to find a certain shade of rust/orange looking at the colors on a computer screen. I just pulled out a color swatch fabric from Kona and it would be hard for me to pick what color you wanted looking at this. There are several colors I would consider rust, but you might consider orange.

I'd try the sample route.

I have purchased swatches from Fabric.com They are very helpful I have a habit of putting in my order for swatches, then starting a new order and put the most like matches in my cart. It may take a few days for the swatches to get to me so I am checking my cart frequently the fabrics stay in the cart until I am ready to order this way I know it won't sell out on me.

Connecting Threads had a blender line that had a pretty rust in it. Also Shadowplay by Maywood (MAS51R53) was perfect for my son's quilt.

As much as I love fabric shopping on line, when I am looking for a very specific color match I try to go to shops in person. I have ordered too many times what I thought was "close enough" from my monitor only to have it be way off in person.
