Karen Nyberg is a NASA astronaut and a quilter, and Earth View draws on what she saw from orbit. Oceans is five small spools of 50wt in the blues and blue-greens of open water seen from above.

50wt is Aurifil's most versatile cotton — fine enough for flat, crisp piecing seams, and equally at home in needle-turn applique, English paper piecing, machine embroidery and dense background quilting.
