Seasonal Basics Fabric Collection - Bat Black

Step into a moonlit night where shadows flutter and mystery fills the air—Bats Black brings that eerie elegance to life in fabric form. Set against a deep, inky black background, tiny bat silhouettes glide across the surface in a scattered, rhythmic pattern, creating a subtle movement that feels both spooky and sophisticated. The tonal design gives it a quiet intensity—like bats drifting through the night sky just before Halloween magic begins. This print is perfect for adding depth and atmosphere to your seasonal projects. Use it as a moody blender in quilts, a striking background for brighter prints, or a dramatic accent in borders and bindings. It’s equally at home in décor pieces like table runners and wall hangings, or even apparel for a touch of understated spooky style. Whether you’re going full haunted or just adding a hint of mystery, Bats Black delivers a rich, shadowy charm that elevates every stitch.

For best results, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent, tumble dry low and remove promptly; do not bleach. Fabrics are 100% cotton, and all quilting cotton will shrink 3-5% on average when washed.
