Trinketry Layer Cake

Manufacturer: RUBY STAR SOCIETY

Stock #: RS0109JR

Product Content: 40 Piece Assorted

Type: Jelly Roll 2.5" x 44"

Designer: Melody Miller

Trinketry Layer Cake

$50.00Price

Quantity*

I’ve been sewing up the lap size version of Split Decision: Hearty and these heart blocks are making me so happy.

This size is fat quarter friendly, and you only need 10 fat quarters plus a background fabric to make a cheerful 46 x 57 inch quilt. It’s a great size for a baby quilt, a wall hanging, or the perfect quilt to tuck around your legs while you cozy up with a good book.

This version uses fabrics from the Starling collection by Maureen Cracknell for Art Gallery Fabrics, plus 1 Decostitch print and Ethereal Pink for the background.

It’s not too difficult to pull together beautifully paired fabrics for this quilt, but I’m curious what you think. Would it be helpful if I offered quilt kits for this version so the color coordinating is already done for you?

Pattern: Split Decision | Hearty coming 3/10/26

Fabrics: Starling by @maureencracknell for @artgalleryfabrics and sea glass Decostitch also by AGF

I have not been participating in #igquiltfest2026 but I did see that today’s prompt is about the “why” behind quilting. My “why” is all about the heart.

I started a business 15 years ago to help my family financially. My heart was to serve my family while serving others. And over the years, it became very clear that the work I was doing was touching other people‘s hearts in ways I couldn’t have imagined or orchestrated. God has stepped in and taken the reins more times than I can count and every time the blessings overflow in ways that are hard to articulate.

As the years go by, life changes. You enter new stages and leave other stages behind. Our son turns 23 tomorrow and he doesn’t need us like he used to. I don’t have to sign things, drive him places, check on things, etc. He’s becoming a solid adult! Looking ahead it’s just me and my guy in this together and I find myself back to my original “why.” My business is going to help my husband retire and if all goes as planned, we will get to work together for the first time since we met 29 years ago!

It’s OK if your “why” changes and ebbs and flows over the years. Life never stays constant. Change is always happening. But gosh what a blessing to know that HE has been my constant. Yesterday, today, and forever … I love him.

Table runner pattern is Daisy Mae by @abbymaed
Fabrics: Moda Bella Indigo + assorted AGF prints.

🫶🏼 New quilters, huddle up!

🩷 No one started out with perfect-ish seams. No one.

🧡 Everyone has made mistakes. 🙋‍♀️ I had to rip several seams in my pattern cover quilt.

💛 Those who are still going strong have just kept practicing. So don’t you dare give up yet!

Split Decision | Hearty is a great pattern to help you PRACTICE. I can’t wait for you to get it in your hands!

I’ve had the opportunity to play with these beauties before they hit shops and the colors are so rich with happiness that if you wrung them out you’d be saturated in smiles!

My next quilt pattern is with testers now and as always their fabric choices are just.so.good. My cover quilt is currently in the hands of the one and only Matt of @randallquilting - that’s right! We are doing a collab again and we are both pretty jazzed about it!

Pattern: Split Decision | Hearty, releases March 24th - my birthday!

It’s day three, and I’m still not at Quilt Con! Today I’m in my Moose Studio talking about the color green… But I don’t mean green with envy!

Here’s a little vocabulary lesson, but with pictorial words instead of plain verbiage:

Saturated Colors: like a gray sweatshirt that is saturated with water, the sweatshirt looks much darker than it does when it’s dry.

Muted Colors: like a damp tee that is a little bit damp and a little bit dry

Lightly Saturated Colors: very little color, like a white napkin after you wipe a little bit of frosting off of your mouth. Is cake your favorite too? What are we even doing in life if we don’t use cake for solid examples?

📣 Shout out to all the spouses, kids, neighbors, significant others and complete strangers who help you get your quilt pictures.

It’s not a fun task or easy task when it’s zero degrees or 108 degrees. Or when it’s windy or when someone sweaty, tired, or cranky.

But my beloved is *all in* to help me with my business goals … even if he has a few choice words about the quilt photography process. 🤣 I’ve tried to explain that I’m not the only one who is picky about the lighting, the angles, if the quilt is straight and taught, if there is a random object in the background, if shoes are showing …. But I’m going to need your comments below to reassure him that I’m not the only one!

🩷🧡💛 If you’re needing a simple quilt for all of those cutie scraps you refuse to give away, Linden’s Joy is your girl! She’s flirty, she radiates your love of scraps, and she’s not hard to make! She also happens to be one of my best selling patterns because she loves to steal the show 🤩

💍 In a few weeks it will be cheers to 26 years with my guy - maybe I should ask him to hold a quilt to celebrate. I kid, I kid … I would never. I mean unless of course the cover quilt for my next pattern is done by then. 🤣🤣🤣

Have you seen the free pattern by @colt_and_lamb that’s been popping up all over Instagram? Scrappy Starlight is both yardage and precut friendly (hello layer cake, I’m looking at you!) and it comes together so quickly! It’s extremely beginner friendly and it’s a design that even works with directional prints and seasonal fabrics.

Sign up for her email list and you’ll get your free copy of Scrappy Starlight!

This particular quilt is headed to a local teen who is in the fight for her life with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Quilts aren’t just about making pretty things - they can bring warmth and comfort to those who are doing brave and hard things. Perhaps there is someone in your community who would be blessed by one of your quilts too. ❤️‍🩹

Precut lovers rejoice! Let’s use up those layer cakes, charm packs and Fat Quarters to make a joyfully cuddly Christmas quilt!

Don’t celebrate Christmas? This pattern is ridiculously cute in your favorite outdoor themed fabrics, plaids, stripes, and all things polka dot. I have mock ups prepped and ready to show you just how versatile it is!

Pressed in Pine has a family history story behind it and I can’t wait to share it with you! Just think 1930’s typeset drawers and you’ll be on the right track 😉

Patterns sometimes take a village to get from concept to sale-ready. So grateful for my village!

@itoldyousew managed to quilt this beauty in record time (no seriously … RECORD TIME) using the most delightful Snowy Baubles panto by @thequiltingmill. The texture is an absolute DREAM! Barbie continues to create the most lovely pantographs that make my creative heart so happy!

@sarahhuechteman did the deepest of deep dives to ensure all my math was correct, the labeling made sense, and she even made a sample (also in record time) using a Cozy Wonderland Charm Pack and it’s SO DANG CUTE!

Grateful to @duenorthhandmade for taking the first technical run through of the pattern 🫶🏼

I cannot wait to show you this entire quilt - and - the one Sarah made - and - the one my wildly talented friend @carnelianquilting is making! The pattern is coming on 11/23/25 ❄️🌲🫎

Slow. Accepting when my body needs to recover isn’t something I’m great at. When a physician tells me I have to rest after medical procedures, I typically buck like a toddler when his mom tries to buckle him into the car seat. And eventually relent.

But this time was different. This time I knew it was coming. This was a scheduled time to recover and be still, and I planned accordingly! No bucking over here! Now listen, it took me *hours and hours* to embroider these quilt labels but I had the sweetest little girl who just wouldn’t leave my side and kept me company the entire time.

I’m not the best at hand embroidery. In fact I might even be a smidge below average. And I’m comfortable with that because every time I embroider I learn something new. If you’re not the best at making a quilt, it’s ok. I bet every time you make one you also learn something new.

Today I hope you have grace for yourself. I hope you can embrace imperfections and count your blessings when you’re forced to be still or feel sidelined by life’s troubles. Tomorrow is a new day!

Pressed in Pine pattern coming late November 2025!

Sweater Weather Sampler 2025 is currently being long arm quilted by @itoldyousew with the Braided Loose panto by @thequiltingmill - I CANNOT wait to see it!

Cameo appearance by everyone’s favorite cat, Care Bear. The sweetest girl without a mean bone in her squishy body.

Slow. Accepting when my body needs to recover isn’t something I’m great at. When a physician tells me I have to rest after medical procedures, I typically buck like a toddler when his mom tries to buckle him into the car seat. And eventually relent.

What a gift it is to own and operate Crafty Moose Quilts 🥰 But the absolute truth is that without all of you, my hype squad and customer base, it wouldn’t be nearly as rewarding. Y’all are the absolute best. You’re incredibly kind and grace filled. You’re fiercely trusting and supportive!

No matter if I’m sitting across the table with you reliving the memories in each of your t-shirts, messaging with you about a pattern question, or chatting it up with you about your fabric order - I genuinely and sincerely LOVE connecting with you. I love it. You fill my cup and make it so easy to count my blessings!

So whatever hardship you’re facing today, I hope this message reminds you to find the good. If you can’t find the good, be the good!

PS: I also love being tagged in your posts! Show me your people snuggled under those t-shirt quilts, or the quilts you’ve made from my patterns and kits!

Pattern: Stargrove by me | Mix and Match version

Fabrics: Juniper by @sharonhollanddesigns and Handstitched Linen by @maureencracknell … both are @artgalleryfabrics

Piecing and quilting by the one and only @sarahhuechteman

🏠 I can’t think of a better way to end the Sampler this year than to celebrate what feels like home to each of us. Megan of @quilt_scouts is wrapping up the 2025 Sampler with the most adorable little house block pattern and you’re going to thoroughly enjoy the wealth of knowledge you will soak up from Megs!

I am extremely blessed to have pockets of friendships dotted all throughout my life, but this Nine Patch Quilt Collective friendship is uniquely special. They feel like “quilty home” to me.

All 9 of us started out with basic pattern writing knowledge when we first met, and all 9 of us have grown *exponentially* with our skill sets and knowledge of the industry as a whole. When I have questions or need advice about something in my business, this gaggle of gal pals is the first place I turn. What a JOY it is to celebrate each of them and all the incredible things they do in their day jobs, home lives, and quilty businesses. Each week when I gab about how lovely each designer is, I really mean it! It’s not just fluff 🩷🧡💛

Cheers to the people who feel like home!

The Nine Patch Quilt Collective is made of 9 individual designers with big talent!

We are already halfway through the week celebrating Rachel‘s Rustic Retreat block for the 2025 Sweater Weather Sampler! Gosh, time goes by way too fast. It’s been a joy, seeing quilters near and far celebrating the clever construction of this block by @sewjoyfulstudio. It is totally unique, and really fun to sew together.

All night of us truly enjoy these nine weeks with all of you! We never grow tired of seeing your blocks, but watching you all encourage each other is a gift and a joy! 🥹

If you had to sit this one out this year, you can still sign up to get all nine block patterns for one bundled price. At the conclusion of the sampler, the blocks will be sold individually only at the discretion of each designer. The link to sign up for the patterns can be found in the Instagram bios of all nine designers - don’t delay so you don’t miss out!

The Sweater Weather Sampler is hosted by the Nine Patch Quilt Collective. We are a group of nine friends who also happen to be quilt pattern designers:

🫶🏼 Thank you for the encouragement and support for sharing a small piece of my story this past week as we made our Ascend blocks. The internet is a funny place and sometimes it’s hard to know when to be vulnerable and when to keep things to yourself. Y’all have shown me such kindness for sharing snippets of my story/journey. Thank you for that.

🏔️ It’s been a fun week seeing so many Ascend blocks from around the globe! Even if you’re sewing outside of the sampler timeline, tag me in your posts when you finish your blocks. I love seeing them!

⛺️ Next up in the Sweater Weather Sampler, we are going camping! We can’t wait to see you create your own little Rustic Retreat with Rachel of Sew Joyful Studio! This team of designers constantly blows my mind with unique ideas and Rachel’s made me oooh and ahhh at her genius construction. I can’t wait to see your blocks!

🩷 If I could put my entire business on hold for a few weeks I would make a Star of Wonder king sized quilt for our bed. I’ve made approximately 7 quilts from this pattern since I released it but I still can’t get enough of it! I even find myself playing with color placement on @quilt_ink because I’m aching to make another one.

🧡 Which quilt pattern would you make again if you had all the time in the world? Tag the designer in the comments!

💛 all fabrics in this version are from @artgalleryfabrics, quilted by @sewmanyquiltstx using the Surf Diamond panto

🩷 This was only the second time I have been to Quilt market in Houston, but it was filled with so many lovely conversations, meals with incredibly talented people, an invitation to a gathering of industry icons to celebrate 50 years of Moda, and late night conversations with the best roommate a girl could ask for. I connected with the people I hoped to but then was blessed with numerous interactions I never expected to have. My heart is so full and the future of Crafty Moose Quilts is filled with opportunities to grow and expand.

💛 It felt nearly impossible to get away for market for an extended weekend, but with the encouragement of Kate @duenorthhandmade I ended up going, and I will never regret it!

❤️ In every industry, there will always be people who disappoint you, rub you the wrong way, or leave you wondering “what the heck just happened?!?!” But I have to say my interactions in the quilting industry have been mostly filled with authenticity, honesty, legitimate encouragement, truths that are intended to help me grow, and sharing amongst small business owners to keep our industry alive and thriving.

Sure, market was smaller this year but the industry magic still had a steady heartbeat at the show and it filled my heart with renewed determination 💓

Grateful for all of these people:

🍁 Are you at Quilt market? You absolutely must stop by the Moda booths and visit with Amarylis Henderson. Her Northern Brights collection is simply stunning! Her entire collection was made from her watercolor artwork. The colors are bright and beautiful, and all the designs are just spectacular!

You can see my Warm Woodlands quilt, made with her Northern Brights collection, in her booth! You can even order the pattern and her fabric through Moda.

You know how much I love saturated colors - Amarylis nailed this collection!

Nervous about sewing blocks with multiple pieces? Don’t fret, I’ve got you! Each block in the Hey Betty Boo pattern comes with a seam allowance test to ensure your stitching is precise before you start piecing everything together.

Make a small throw, a large throw, a wall hanging, a table runner, a pillow, a tote… the possibilities are endless! If you start now, you’ll be ready to enjoy your Halloween quilt the whole month of October!

Hey Betty Boo is available as a PDF download, as a single book purchase, and available for wholesale purchase as well. The book is professionally printed in full color.

Pattern: Hey Betty Boo by me (wholesale purchasing is under the SHOP menu on my website)

Fabric on Small Throw: Hey Boo by @lellaboutique for @modafabrics

Fabric on Large Throw: @artgalleryfabrics

Quilting by @sewmanyquiltstx using the Uneven Wishbone panto by @thequiltingmill

I wish you could hear the joy in my voice that bubbles up from the heart of the community that surrounds this yearly quilt along adventure. I wish you could see the tears in the corners of my eyes when I think about this safe and encouraging environment where quilters are allowed to make mistakes, ask questions, and use fabrics that bring them joy. What a gift it is to be part of a judgement free zone!

Did you know I have several patterns that are pre-cut friendly? Typically when a pattern is pre-cut friendly (think charm packs and layer cakes) it also means it is scrap friendly. It’s the perfect opportunity to go through that bin of beautiful scraps that you have been holding onto and make something absolutely incredible.

My next pattern is gorgeous from scraps, precuts, and from yardage and my pattern testing team is blowing me away with what they have been preparing behind the scenes.

The cover quilt version was made with yardage from Maureen Cracknell’s Marigold collection with @artgalleryfabrics This collection is so cheerful and happy with birds, plaid, butterflies, bumblebees and sunshine! ☀️ I can’t wait to show you the whole thing. 😍

The cover quilt was quilted by @randallquilting and per his usual talent he already has a video prepared for y’all but you just have to wait a LITTLE bit longer to see it!

I almost gave up this year. It’s true. I felt overworked and confused about how to seek out and take the next right steps for my business. I launched something big, and I didn’t have as many people show up to the party as I thought would show.

But I took a step back to reevaluate my big goals. I decided to give it everything I had to see what would happen next. I poured out my heart to some friends who are also entrepreneurs, and we all agreed that running your own business can be extremely difficult and *also* extremely rewarding.

There are so many hats to wear. I work early in the day and well into the night. I take courses to learn new things, ask people I admire for insight into how to use new software or word something just right to avoid confusion in a pattern.

I’m the Chief Marketing Officer, the accountant, the web designer, the social media manager, and I cover order fulfillment. I’m the product and supply purchaser, and both the face to the business and the behind the scenes person. I book speaking engagements and I’m the travel agent. I’m the designer and the maker and the heart behind the entire operation.

If you’re an entrepreneur you might be all of these things too and it can be so much to juggle … but it’s absolutely worth it.

Following your dream is not as easy as social media influencers try to make it look. But it’s not impossible! Anything is possible. Reach out to somebody who is also in your industry and ask for three tips to help you go from where you are today to where you want to be in one month, six months, and next year. Allow yourself to dream big! Where do you want to be in three years?

Keep going!
Don’t give up yet!
Give it your best but don’t forget to rest. (Speaking to myself there too).

We have a little treat in Texas today. It’s August 2nd and only 79 degrees! It has me thinking about FALL Y’ALL 🍁

It’s the perfect time to start working on your Halloween projects so they are done and ready to be used come October 1st - because - ***if you can believe it*** that’s not very far away!

The Hey Betty Boo pattern is perfect for using up the scraps from previous Halloween projects, but it’s also REALLY easy to incorporate precut packs like Charm Packs, Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, and fat cuts (eighths or quarters).

If you’re local, you can pick up a pattern book AND see my sample quilts hanging at @sewcialcreatives in The Colony and @downtowndrygoods in McKinney. Love shopping at @lindaselectricquilters ? You can pick up a pattern book from them as well!

Happy Fall-ish, y’all!

Learning new skills is vital for the health of your brain. It boosts cognitive function, confidence, memory and in general it stimulates the brain. But you know what else it can do?

It can make you DANCE when you nail a newish skill. 💃 Before I was part of the Nine Patch Quilt Collective I never pattern matched my backing pieces. Ever. But after watching my friends do it and asking for tips, I have now done it 4 times but this was the first time I did it without asking anyone for help. 👏 Bring on the dancing!

In my next cover quilt I’m using prints from the Marigold Collection by @maureencracknell for @artgalleryfabrics and I’m just so in love with the pinks and yellows from this collection. The fabric shown here is called Bumble Blush and it’s available in my shop, along with several others from this collection.

I can’t wait to introduce the Oh Ryan pattern to you next month! The story behind it is so dang funny and 100% relatable to those of you who tend to forget things like I do! Does that already resonate with you? 🤣

One of the most rewarding things about being a pattern designer is seeing quilters take the core structure of your pattern and turn it into something absolutely breathtaking. That’s exactly what Jenn @itoldyousew did with her scrappy mix-and-match version of my Stargrove pattern. She used such a fun mix of Ruby Star fabrics by @jenhewett and some assorted pieces by @modafabrics and the result is scrappy snuggly GOODNESS.

Jenn let me photograph her quilt and I had a really hard time being selective because every single block was incredible. She paired her contrasting fabrics beautifully to make every star and every tree stand out.

The excitement that Jen brings to the table is palpable. As a pattern tester, she is all in to make sure the pattern makes sense and she’s all in to hype up the entire pattern tester chat with her positive comments. And as a friend, she is all in to listen well, effortlessly give encouragement, make sure you feel seen and heard, and then we laugh about all the ridiculousness of life along the way. (((Grateful for you, Jenn!)))

I’ve been saving this Nutmeg collection by BasicGrey for Moda for ages — just waiting for the right pattern to do it justice. I finally paired it with some AGF solids and made the scrappy mix + match version of Stargrove, and ohhh my goodness… it was worth the wait. 🍂✨

From the first cut to the final stitch, this quilt brought me so much joy. It reminded me how powerful it is to sew with fabrics you really love. The colors, the textures, the way everything played together — I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Full disclosure— I some of my fabrics didn’t have enough contrast and I had to take apart about 7 blocks! Sooo much better after the glam up.

🧵Stargrove is available as a PDF, printed booklet, and for wholesale orders. The pattern includes 3 layout options:
• Single background
• Color block alternating backgrounds
• Scrappy mix + match (like mine!)

It also comes in 4 sizes: table runner, lap, throw, and bed — so there’s a version for every maker and every purpose.

✨Mix.Match.Magic.✨ This might be my most favorite quilt to date!

This scrappy version of Stargrove is bursting with personality, color, and texture! The long arm quilting by Michelle Parker of @sewmanyquiltstx took this design to the next level.

🎧 Listen in as I share the things I love the most about Michelle and her business!
