Boxes in Midnight takes the geometric Boxes print from 4th and Main Favorites into a dark colorway. Scott Flanagan of 4th & Main Designs designed the collection for Banyan Batiks by Northcott, and this piece is a 100% cotton batik with the layered color and slight variation that wax-resist dyeing creates.
Dark geometrics do a lot of work in a quilt. Use Midnight for borders that frame a lighter center, for sashing that gives blocks crisp edges, or as the dark background in a modern quilt where light blocks float on top. The box design adds structure up close, so even a wide border has something to look at, and it hides quilting stitches better than a solid.
It coordinates with Galaxy in Midnight if you want two prints in the same colorway, and with Boxes in Vanilla for high-contrast piecing. Midnight is also a smart pick for tote bags and zipper pouches, where a dark fabric keeps its fresh look with everyday use.
