Tinsel Trimmings Christmas Fabric by Patrick Lose

Tinsel Trimmings by Patrick Lose combines the versatility of white quilting fabric with the sparkle of silver metallic.

The 11-piece collection features presents, ornaments, snowflakes, stockings, candy canes, holly, stars, stripes, dots, and winter-inspired textures, all created in a crisp white-and-silver palette.

White & Silver Metallic Holiday Fabric

White doesn't have to mean plain.

Tinsel Trimmings gives quilters the usefulness of white fabric while adding silver metallic details that catch the light and bring subtle sparkle to a quilt.

The white backgrounds allow these prints to function much like quilting basics, while the metallic designs add considerably more visual interest than a plain solid.

Christmas Basics for Quilt Backgrounds

One of our favorite things about Tinsel Trimmings is how easily these fabrics can be used as Christmas basics.

Instead of using a solid white background, try a silver metallic snowflake, tiny dot, star, stripe, knit-inspired print, or frosty texture. From a distance, the fabric can still read as a light or white background, while up close the metallic detail gives the quilt another layer of interest.

They're especially useful for quilt backgrounds, sashing, borders, blocks, flying geese, half-square triangles, appliqué backgrounds, and other patchwork where you want the versatility of white without using a plain solid.

White Fabric for Patchwork Quilts

Tinsel Trimmings isn't limited to Christmas quilts.

The simpler stars, dots, stripes, geometric designs, and frosty textures can work as white patchwork fabric in projects where you want a light neutral with a little shimmer.

Pair these white-and-silver prints with reds and greens for traditional Christmas patchwork, icy blues for winter quilts, or almost any saturated color where you need a light fabric to create contrast.
