Challenge Star

Challenge Star

This quilt is a reminder of the importance of reaching for the stars to accomplish your dreams, and is a tribute to a special moment in my space career -- the NASA Astronomical Quilt Challenge of 2013. Pattern includes options for: Baby (36"x45"), Throw (54"x63"), Square (63"x63"), Twin (72"x90"), Queen (90"x99"), King (108"x108"). Pattern is fat quarter friendly.  Skill Level: Beginner. The Challenge Star quilt design is a modern take on the 9" star-themed quilt block that I made in 2013 while living and working on the International Space Station. NASA and I invited crafters from around the world to create star-themed quilt blocks to be stitched together to create a global community quilt. NASA received over 2400 star-themed blocks from around the world.  I hope that you enjoy quilting this updated version of my made-in-space Challenge Star block!
