"Wild Goose Island" by May Black received the Rowenta Viewer's Choice Award at AQS QuiltWeek - Daytona Beach 2026.
Artist Statement: "I just love a colorful quilt! Everything in my life must have lots of color, whether it be clothes or quilts. Color makes me happy! This quilt has been in the works for 2 years. It started with a Zoom class in 2023. I finished the top and didn't send it to Cindy until 2024. I added the binding, quilt sleeve, and label in 2025. I set a challenge to use fabric from my stash, without buying additional fabric. It worked!"
Techniques Include: Foundation Paper Piecing; Free-Motion and Ruler Work Quilting
Quilted By: Cindy Baker
