Galaxy in Midnight carries the swirling Galaxy design from 4th and Main Favorites into a dark colorway. Scott Flanagan of 4th & Main Designs created the collection for Banyan Batiks by Northcott, and like the rest of the line, it's a 100% cotton batik dyed with a wax-resist process, so each piece has slight natural variation.
A dark, textured batik earns its place in a quilt as contrast. Use Midnight behind light stars and compass blocks, as a border that frames a busy center, or as a binding that finishes a quilt with a clean dark edge. The swirling texture keeps large areas from reading as a flat block of color, which is why it also works well in sashing and setting triangles.
Pair it with Galaxy in Vanilla or Dove for an easy light-to-dark combination from the same print, or mix in the collection's Compass Star and Pine Needles designs for more variety. It's also a practical choice for table runners and bags, where a dark fabric stays looking fresh.
