Quilt Top in 23 Seconds!

by Shannon Brinkley
Aug 16, 2025

I wanted to give you a sneaky peak at our Sasha quilt pattern. Here is a time lapse of my husband and I fusing the top of this Scrappy Applique pattern, Sasha.

It's so fun to see her come together so quickly! The video is only 23 seconds, but the actual process took about an hour... still quite quick. That is what I love about Scrappy Applique.

One of my favorite things about this technique is how intricate it looks, while being quite simple and quick to create -- always my favorite kind of quilting! Sasha has become our most popular pattern ever, and for good reason -- look how regal she looks. I know that lions are supposed to be the king of the jungle, but she certainly looks like a queen. 

Interested in getting your feet wet with this technique??

For the first time in years, you can grab the Scrappy Applique Workshop as a stand alone/instant access class! And when you join now, you’ll also receive a bonus pattern bundle—a curated collection of some of my most popular Scrappy Appliqué designs (including Sasha!) to help you dive in and start making right away.

You didn't buy it for a project. You bought it because it was beautiful — and now it lives on the shelf where you can visit it, because no project ever feels quite worthy of it. Right? Well. I want to tel...
A studio, not a sewing room
  Close your eyes for a second and picture walking into the space where you sew. What does it make you feel? If the answer is "stressed," "cramped," or "a little scattered" — this week's post is for you. Because that feeling shapes what you make there, and whatever your space or budget, you can change it. On the blog this week: the difference between a sewing room and a studio (it's not square...
One pattern, a dozen completely different quilts
Here's a quiet little pattern I've noticed. A lot of us follow the pattern exactly — every fabric, every placement, right down to the cover photo. Partly because it's what we know. And partly because going off-script feels risky. What if I choose the wrong colors? What if I waste fabric? I want to let you in on something: a pattern is a starting point, not a rulebook. And this week on the blog,...
