A partially pieced quilt top with Laika, the first female dog in space, next to Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. Both are kind of blocky caricatures, because it is a quilt, but Laika is sitting up, in her blue space vest, with a name tag. Terrshkova is in her white spacesuit with red accents, carrying a white helmet with her name embroidered on the visor and CCCP embroidered above. She has a 60s side bun hairdo, but no facial features, and both are set against a starry navy background
