The Ruby Star Society Melody Miller Trinketry collection has just arrived, featuring her signature bold colors and playful illustrations that blend familiar motifs with thoughtful, nostalgic-yet-modern design. This collection is well suited for quilters and sewists who enjoy fabrics with personality and detail.
Building on ideas from her earlier Trinket designs, Trinketry celebrates small, everyday objects and turns them into prints that feel collected rather than themed.
Design Details Worth Noticing
One of the defining features of Trinketry is its hand-drawn artwork. The prints include matchboxes, cherries, and other small keepsakes that reward a closer look. These motifs feel playful without being overwhelming, making them easy to mix into a variety of projects.
The scale of the prints works well for both piecing and larger cuts, allowing the details to remain visible whether used in quilt blocks, borders, or accessories.
Color Choices That Work Together
The color palette leans bold but remains balanced. Deep blues, greens, oranges, and darker backgrounds are paired with brighter accents and softer tones. This makes the collection flexible for modern quilts, statement pieces, or projects that need a strong visual anchor without overpowering the overall design.
The colors also mix well with other Ruby Star Society fabrics, making it easy to blend Trinketry into existing fabric stashes.
Projects You Can Make with Trinketry
With the collection newly arrived, it’s a great time to explore how these prints can be used. Trinketry works especially well for:
- Patchwork quilts with simple block layouts.
- Tote bags, zipper pouches, and project bags.
- Quilt borders or backs that showcase larger prints.
- Pillow covers, table runners, and wall hangings.
- Garment details such as pockets, linings, or panels.
Take a look at the newly arrived Trinketry fabrics and see which prints inspire your next sewing or quilting project.
