Frequently Asked Questions
- Midnight Blue or Navy Cuddle?
- Navy is the classic confident dark blue; Midnight is nearly black with a night-sky depth. Formal and dramatic quilts step up to Midnight; traditional patriotic and nautical work stays with Navy.
- Why is it the galaxy-quilt backing?
- Constellation and starry-night fronts get a reverse that literally feels like the theme — deep night-sky plush — the rare case where the backing extends the concept rather than just the palette.
- What bobbin on near-black blue?
- Deep navy or black — anything lighter flecks visibly against a ground this dark.
- School-color use?
- Midnight-and-gold and midnight-and-silver graduation quilts — the near-black depth reads more formal than standard navy against metallic accent fronts.
- Throw-blanket potential?
- High — self-backed or paired with a cotton front, the deep plush reads as an upscale home throw rather than a craft project.
