Write On White - A Minimalist & Elegant Quilt

March 15, 2023 Brigitte Heitland

WRITE ON WHITE, a minimalist quilt reflects the light and creates an elegant and simple look that only a white quilt can achieve. The pattern, created by designer Brigitte Heitland, consists of a single line of fabric and easy-to-connect squares. It has nothing to it and is everything at the same time. This is minimalism at its best.

The simplicity of this pattern is what makes it so beautiful. The use of white reflects light and creates an elegant look that will fit in any modern home decor.

Creative Process

The creative process for this pattern is very simple. The minimalist and elegant modern quilt lives by its simplicity, so it doesn't take much to put it together. All you need to do is join rectangle shapes and watch as they get smaller and smaller in size until they become tiny squares that remind me of a table at your optician where the letters or figures get smaller and smaller too.

The quilt gets its elegant look from the fabric choices, which are mostly white with black graphic patterns, a bit of grey, and a few black accents.

The quilt is basically a square shape, with each side measuring about 63 inches.

Although, as mentioned, this quilt owes its special elegance to the minimalist choice of fabric, this easy-to-sew pattern can, of course, be sewn with a blaze of color. Imagine, for example, a gradient of batiks or simply a colorful puzzle of solid fabrics or even some scraps from your stash.

A great pattern for modern home decor.

This quilt pattern is for a lap-size quilt, and it's perfect for beginners. It uses only prints with lots of white backgrounds and black graphics. The fabric line Filigree by Zen Chic is perfect for this quilt since it has everything to achieve this elegant look: The wide variety of prints with white and grey backgrounds and modern graphic patterns.

Conclusion

The Quilt is a great pattern for modern home decor. It's minimalist and elegant, and nearly purely in white. You can use any fabric you like with this pattern, but it will look spectacular if you keep it that pure!
