Hi everyone. When I was making a picket fence border on a flowered quilt, I had a piece of printed white stripe which cold resemble boards but was glaring white. S o I experimented with coffee, instant coffee, tea and onion skins. Each gave a different color and dipped a piece of the fabric into them. Coffee and tea gave nice tan colors. The onion skin gave a slightly orange color. and the instant coffee gave a dark grey. Have some fun with this. And these things do not wash out if you have ever spilled on a white shirt.
