A couple of weeks ago there was an interesting thin line technique published on the ' And then we set it on fire' blog which I wanted to try out. I used a handdeyed dark grey fabric for the thin lines - which were cut at 0,5" - and a multicolored linen which I made last year during a soy wax workshop. I love to have pieced backgrounds for my quilts, so this was a great technique to play with. Here is the result I got:

Okay, the background for my next quilt is now finished. With next blog post I will show you how it continued.
