Constellation Quilt Cobalt

Constellation Quilt! Imaginative and timeless, this quilt illuminates our connection to the still mysterious universe using traditional craft techniques and astronomical data. A Constellation Quilt can be used as a learning tool, a functional art object and modern heirloom. A Constellation Quilt that is meant to be passed on from generation to generation.

The quilt depicts a global view of the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere as if you were standing at the north pole.

There are 42 constellations hand stitched on the quilt including: The Big and Little Dipper, Gemini, Orion, Leo, Taurus, Aries, Virgo, and the Milky Way


WHY WE  LOVE  IT

Why Quilts?
Quilts are tactile objects that absorb and accumulate our love. They are generational objects, heirlooms passed down within families as a way to keep our stories alive and familiar. The act of quilting is an act of love - a quilt is a talisman that protects and comforts when we're at our most vulnerable - in our sleep. The texture and warmth of a quilt conjures memories of home, and for some commemorate life's big moments: birth, marriage, and coming of age.

Quilts are functional as bedding and as art, an unusual intersection for a household craft that has been predominantly seen as women's work. The value of a handmade quilt lies not just in the beauty of the piece, but in its sentimental value. These treasured keepsakes tell our stories, and a quilted map provides the scaffolding on which the story is held into focus: Haptic Lab quilts become a snapshot of a moment in time in a world that is rapidly changing.
