Astronomical block by DGD
 

I only just in time discovered the Astronomical quilt block challenge - and asked my DGD if she would like to make a block. We decided to do a paper pieced block - she chose the block and the fabric from my stash...did all the cutting, sewing and pressing. I helped put a few pins in as she was having a little trouble getting them through the paper and the fabric....and coached....but she did it all herself. She is so proud !!!! I AM SO PROUD !!!!! - and said that she really likes paper piecing and would like to make a whole quilt that way.:thumbup: It will be in the mail tomorrow to make the deadline of 1 August!! Thanks for looking.[ATTACH=CONFIG]484833[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]484834[/ATTACH]

Please tell her what a wonderful job she did both in choosing fabric and piecing! She gives me hope that I can do it someday. Her beautiful smile shows how proud and happy she is! Thanks for sharing grammie!

She did great! Nice choice of fabrics for the astronomical theme.

Wow! What a cool block! She did a wonderful job. Look at her bright smile. She has a future as an out-of-this-world quilter!
