"Color My World" by Karen Kay Buckley won The Innova Master Award for Contemporary Artistry at Houston 2025. It also won Best of Show AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2026.
Artist Statement: "This quilt started with the Bluebird block as a teaching project, and then I wondered if I could create a larger quilt with this concept. Each block contains a critter (insect, animal, bird). Some are hidden and others are obvious. After finishing the blocks, I designed the center and planned to include all the critters, but I could not find the right place for one of them. Can you figure out which one is missing from the center?"
