Seasonal Basics Fabric Collection - Bat Purple

Bats Purple fabric swoops in with spooky charm and playful Halloween energy, setting the perfect mood for your seasonal sewing. Set against a rich purple backdrop, tiny black bats flutter across the surface in a scattered, rhythmic pattern—like a twilight sky just as the bats begin their nightly flight. The contrast between the deep purple and inky silhouettes creates a bold yet balanced look that feels festive without being overwhelming. It is a fantastic choice for adding a hint of Halloween whimsy to your projects. Use it as a blender in quilts to bring depth and movement, or let it shine in themed décor like table runners, trick-or-treat bags, and wall hangings. It also makes a fun statement in apparel—think pajama sets, skirts, or accessories with just the right amount of spooky flair. Whether you’re crafting something eerie or lighthearted, Bats Purple brings a lively, seasonal spirit to 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.
