The two sample quilt layouts shown below using the Pathways quilt block look entirely different.

The quilt layout illustrated on the left sets the blocks side by side and separates them by sashing strips. Using the same fabric as the background of the blocks for the sashing, gives the appearance of the blocks "floating". Also this setting creates subtle secondary designs if you look beyond the stars.

The quilt layout featured on the right uses an on point setting of full blocks and half blocks to create a unique pattern of the stars at night.
