If you want to combine the thickness with the color information, you could do this:
Plot[{1.1 Sin[x], .9 Sin[x]}, {x, 0, 3 Pi},
PlotStyle -> {Thickness[0.01]}, ColorFunction -> "BlueGreenYellow",
Filling -> {1 -> {2}}]
Thanks Kuba for pointing out Artes' answer that shows how Filling
can work here.
