Compass Star in Smoke is part of 4th and Main Favorites by Scott Flanagan of 4th & Main Designs for Banyan Batiks, a collection built around compass-inspired designs, starbursts, and swirling textures in neutral and blue tones. Like the rest of the line, it's a 100% cotton batik with subtle hand-dyed variation.
Smoke gives you the collection's compass motif in a gray colorway, which makes it a flexible in-between fabric. It carries the star theme into a quilt without the stark contrast of black, and it's useful in blocks that need a step between a light background and a dark accent. It's also a good choice for sashing, cornerstones, or a pieced border that ties a batik quilt together.
For smaller projects, Smoke works well in table runners, placemats, zipper pouches, and tote bags, where a gray batik looks polished and handles everyday use better than a light fabric. Pair it with Compass Star in Vanilla and Black for a coordinated set.
