Astronaut Bargello

When my brother and I were young enough to share a bedroom we had matching quilts. They showed the space shuttle and its various compartments. Different compartments had pockets where you could put little stuffed astronauts. You could place the crew in the cockpit, the payload bay, on the wing, in the engine room. (The quilt may not have been 100% scientifically accurate.) Now a new astronaut quilt is on the way to my brother for my new nephew.
