Constellation quilt

There's a (fully subscribed) Kickstarter project making quilts with the constellations of the northern sky: www.kickstarter.com/projects/haptician/constellation-quilt

I wouldn't mind a southern version...

Ahh, Rick, just to be clear, are you proposing to take up quilting, or that we ought to do so?

Peter,

It might not be such a bad idea to take up quilting so there's something to do on cloudy nights but I was never much for productive hobbies. I think I'd rather outsource the hard work to someone more talented. Ricardo's law of comparative advantage and all that...

BTW, looking good for some more Ceravolo testing in the back yard tonight! I have a Gerd Neumann Camera Tilt Unit ready for action.

Cheers,
Rick.

Well, scroll down the bottom to the bit about DIY Kits, it says "...You'll be able to select from designs of either the Northern or Southern hemisphere once the campaign has ended."

Got a sewing machine, and can sew ? It's not hard...

The most interesting quilt I have seen is this one... http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap041125.html and there are others
