About This Pattern
Cassiopeia is an 82 x 82 inch quilt pattern named for the celestial queen whose constellation sweeps across northern skies. Its design radiates with symmetry, motion, and mythic geometry, built from paper pieced pineapple blocks reimagined as faceted diamonds. The result is a kaleidoscopic burst of depth and color that feels both architectural and ethereal. The original sample was stitched in luminous Anthology Fabrics prints, now out of print, giving the quilt a rich, painterly glow that enhances every layered point. Cassiopeia’s starburst within a halo composition makes it an ideal project for experienced quilters who enjoy precision and dramatic visual impact. Whether interpreted in jewel tones, neutrals, or high contrast palettes, the pattern invites bold choices and rewards them with a quilt that feels timeless, radiant, and otherworldly.
