Starburst in Black sets one of the signature motifs from 4th and Main Favorites against the darkest color in the collection. Scott Flanagan of 4th & Main Designs designed the line for Banyan Batiks by Northcott, and this print is a 100% cotton batik with hand-dyed depth and slight natural variation.
A black starburst is made for drama. Use it as the background for a star quilt so the pieced stars glow against it, as a wide border that echoes the burst motif from the center, or as binding when you want a strong finishing edge. Because the design adds texture, large dark areas look rich rather than flat, and quilting stitches blend in easily.
It pairs well with Compass Star in Black when you want two dark prints that feel related but not identical, and with Starburst in Vanilla for crisp light-and-dark contrast. Black batik also holds up nicely in bags, pouches, and table runners that see everyday use.
