    Default Astronomical Quilts!

    NASA Astronaut Karen Nyberg, while on the International Space Station, created a star-themed hand-stitched quilt block. My daughter and I thought it would be exciting to submit blocks to be combined with hers. The information I have says the quilt will be displayed in Houston at their 40th Anniversary Show in Sept.

    Here is Tammy's block.

    Here's mine.

    I sure wish we could go to Houston to see the quilt.

    You both done great on your blocks. They both will play nicely with Karen's block & will be a nice addition to the quilt.

    Very nice. I'll try to remember to look for them at the Quilt Fest this year.

    Your blocks are nice. It would be fun to see the quilt in person. Maybe if you can't go, you can google pictures of it afterward.

    Nice blocks! I really like the design on the first one. I've never seen it before.
