Midnight Prowl - Starlit Grove - by 3 Wishes

Midnight Prowl is mostly dark and moody, and Starlit Grove is its calm, pale counterpart. Tiny butterflies and dragonflies flutter across a speckled cream ground, between little flowers in navy, rust-brown and slate grey. The look is soft and vintage, like a page from an old nature notebook, and the muted colours make it 

This is 100% cotton fabric in a quilting weight: smooth, soft and breathable, and it cuts and sews cleanly. It’s 112cm (44") wide, the standard width for quilting cotton, which suits patchwork, bags, crafts and clothing projects. The pale ground makes it one of the most versatile prints in the range.

The creatures and flowers are small and spread across the cloth in every direction, so it reads as a lively texture and there’s no large motif to place. It’s a good choice for dressmaking and for projects where you want a pattern without a strong focal point.

Starlit Grove is the light partner for the darker prints in Midnight Prowl. Use it as a bright background in a quilt, or pair it with the moths and moons print and the black cats for a high-contrast scrap quilt.

Cotton is a natural, renewable fibre, and a good quilting cotton like this is made to be washed and used for years. At the end of its life, it’s biodegradable, because natural cotton breaks down in the right conditions.
