Astronomical Quilts! Block Challenge Collection

UT Austin’s Briscoe Center for American History presents an exhibition of twenty-eight extraordinary pieces from its Astronomical Quilts! Block Challenge Collection. The quilts were created from blocks made in response to a challenge issued by the International Quilt Festival (IQF) in 2013. The challenge was inspired by a quilt block hand sewn by NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg while serving aboard the International Space Station in 2013.
