Meet my current quilt obsession: Moths

by Shannon Brinkley
Aug 28, 2025

Every time I look at these quilts, I fall in love all over again… my Scrappy Appliqué Moths collection.

For this bundle, I chose three absolutely breathtaking species:
🦋 The Giant Silk Moth
🦋 The Spanish Moon Moth
🦋 The Sagebrush Sheep Moth

Each one has its own unique flair — some bold and colorful, others soft and delicate. I’ve been fascinated by moths for years… they’re such a beautiful mix of mystery and magic.

 

When I designed this collection, I played with different layouts, but ultimately landed on showcasing the full wing span. There’s something about the symmetry of the wings that just stops you in your tracks.

And here’s my favorite part — while these quilts look intricate, they come together surprisingly quickly with my Scrappy Appliqué method. (I stitched up two samples in just three days — one day prepping fabric, one day collaging, one day sewing. That’s it!)

 

This project also holds a special place in my heart because it’s the first time I created quilts using only fabric I hand-dyed myself. Seeing those colors come alive in the moth wings was such a thrill.

Inside the Moths bundle you’ll find:
✨ 3 moth species, each with 3 different sizes
✨ Both square and horizontal layout options
✨ Endless room to play with fabric, color, and negative space

Now, here’s the exciting part for you:
We may release this bundle to the public in the future at around $34, but right now you can get it for free when you join the Scrappy Appliqué Workshop.

That means for less than the cost of the patterns, you’ll get:
✔ The full Scrappy Appliqué Workshop (plus bonus masterclasses)
âś” Our two most popular animal patterns: Amaya (zebra) + Sasha (tiger)
âś” The brand-new Moths bundle

This special is only available until August 31.

Join the Scrappy AppliquĂ© Workshop + grab your free Moths bundle 

 

 

I can’t wait to see the wings you create.

Happy stitching,
Shannon

Three Ways to Add a Pop of Color (When Your Palette Looks a Little Boring)
Hi there {{first_name}}, I taught Your Color Style live yesterday morning, and one color challenge came up in the chat over and over: “my quilts are too matchy-matchy,” “not enough contrast,” “I want color but I don’t want it to look weird.” So today I want to hand you the tool I reach for most when a palette is sitting there looking a little boring. It’s called a pop of color, and there are th...
How Do I Get Out of a Color Rut?
  Hi there, Today I want to answer the question I get asked in every single room I teach in — usually a little sheepishly, usually with a laugh: "How do I stop all my quilts from looking the same?" The short answer is that your rut isn't what you think it is. The long answer is below. And at the end there's an invitation, because this October I'm teaching my free live masterclass, Your Color St...
Your Fabric Palette Looks Off...
Have you ever laid out a pull of fabrics you love — every single one of them beautiful on its own — and had them just sit there on the table, not talking to each other? They don't pop. Something's off. And the worst part is you can't say what, so you can't fix it. I want to give you the word for that today. It isn't the colors, and it isn't your eye. It's one thing, it has a name, and once you ...
