Basically Black + White Fabric

Sometimes a solid white isn't quite enough. Basically Black + White by Patrick Lose offers the versatility of white fabric with subtle printed designs that add texture, movement, and dimension without competing with the focal fabrics in your quilt.

Shabby Fabrics carries the white-on-white fabrics from the Basically Black + White collection as yardage, making these designs especially useful as backgrounds, blenders, and supporting fabrics.

White-on-White Fabric for Quilting

White-on-white fabric is one of those quilting basics you'll reach for again and again. From a distance, these fabrics can read almost like a solid white. Up close, their tonal designs add an extra layer of detail.

Use white-on-white prints when you want a light background but don't want the completely flat appearance of a solid.

White Tonal Fabric

A white tonal fabric uses subtle variations of white to create a visible design while maintaining an overall white appearance.

Basically Black + White includes an assortment of tonal patterns that can add dimension to negative space, backgrounds, borders, blocks, and appliqué without introducing a competing color.

Explore more tonal fabric for subtle texture and easy-to-coordinate quilting basics.

Quilt Background Fabric

Choosing the right quilt background fabric can completely change the finished look of a project.

White tonal fabrics provide the clean contrast of a white background while introducing just enough visual texture to make the background interesting. Pair them with bright colors, pastels, florals, novelty prints, batiks, seasonal collections, or other tonal fabrics.

Low-Volume White Fabric

Basically Black + White also works beautifully when you're looking for low-volume fabric.

The subtle white-on-white designs can create quiet areas within a quilt, allowing stronger colors and focal prints to take center stage while the background still contributes texture and detail.

Dots, Circles & Geometric White Fabrics

Dots, spots, circles, lines, and geometric designs turn basic white into something much more interesting.

These versatile prints are particularly useful for modern quilts, backgrounds, foundation paper piecing, patchwork, and projects where a solid white would feel too plain.

White Floral & Leaf Tonals

Organic designs such as florals, leaves, and fronds provide another way to introduce texture without adding color.

Use these softer white tonal fabrics alongside floral collections, nature-inspired projects, traditional quilts, or anywhere you'd like a subtle botanical element in the background.

White-on-White Fabric for Appliqué

White tonal fabrics are especially useful for appliqué backgrounds because they provide a clean foundation for colorful appliqué pieces without leaving the background completely flat.

The understated designs add interest while allowing the appliqué itself to remain the focal point.

A Versatile Quilting Basic

Basically Black + White doesn't have to stay with one collection or one season. That's part of what makes these white fabrics so useful.

Keep several designs on hand and pair them with Christmas, Halloween, spring, patriotic, floral, children's, batik, or everyday fabrics whenever your project calls for a light neutral.

What Can You Make with Basically Black + White?

Use these white-on-white fabrics for quilt backgrounds, blocks, sashing, borders, appliqué backgrounds, foundation paper piecing, low-volume quilts, table runners, wall hangings, pillows, and patchwork projects.

Because Shabby Fabrics carries these designs as individual yardage, you can choose the exact white tonal pattern and quantity your project requires.
