Star Crossed Paths Quilt – A Beautiful Star-Inspired Design by Carolyn Beam
Some quilt designs really do capture that perfect balance between motion and balance. One of my favorites is this amazing Star Crossed Paths Quilt. Created by Carolyn Beam for Benartex, the quilt uses the stunning Field of Dreams fabric range to create a gorgeous mix of color, geometry and traditional patchwork.
This design really has it all! The star inspired design creates a great sense of motion within the quilt. With the use of geometric shapes the design is full of interest whilst still looking balanced. This would make a stunning centerpiece within any bedroom, guest room or living area.

A Closer Look at the Design
This is such a great project for anyone who loves geometric patchwork. At 72 inches square it is also a great size to use as a bed topper, decorative throw or even a handmade gift.
The beauty of this design is that the individual fabric pieces work well together. When you piece together the blocks there is a nice flow to the design. Choosing the right fabrics to use will really make a difference. By using coordinating prints from the Field of Dreams range the design will look harmonious but still keep the individual pieces looking standout.
To make it easier I would take the time to arrange your fabrics. Grouping together similar pieces and ensuring that each unit goes in the right place will make the quilt much easier to assemble.
Final Thoughts
Star Crossed Paths is a great example of how traditional patchwork can be used to create a stunning and interesting quilt. I love how the cream background contrasts against the darker botanical prints. Whether you use the original fabric choices from the Field of Dreams range or your own favorite prints this is a fun project where you can experiment with geometric piecing.
