When you think of Karen K. Stone, you think of bright New York Beauty quilts with lots of points and intricate piecing. Karen's quilt, Away, has a completely different feel. Inspired by a trip to the Tokyo Quilt Festival, this quilt contains vintage woven silks and cottons in muted tones. Not a New York Beauty in sight, Away is filled with a wonderful mix of traditional blocks and appliqué.

Away by Karen K. Stone of Dallas, Texas won Second PlaceBalanced Piecing and Appliqué, sponsored by Quilters Select, at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2019.

I attended the 2018 International quilt show in Tokyo too. Karen Stone capture the pure inspiration of that event. I saw those materials for sale, and wow! Her use of them is beautiful.

It is so beautiful! Could stand and look at it forever! But I can definitely see Karen Stone in there. Amazing piece of work.

Intricate stitching on the top. The original design is unique. I think I like her other quilts more.
