This is Space & Stars Theme Week at my Blisstree Parenting blog, so I thought quilters and crafters might like to consider the designs featuring this theme in their work.  Have you made anything that reflects space, the space shuttle, Mars, or the stars?
Here are a list of some quilting patterns that encompass star designs:

Beautiful Star
Feather Edged Star
French Star
Lone Star
Mexican Star
Pieced Star
Rolling Star
Seven Stars
Star of the West
Star of Bethlehem
