An art quilt group I belong to issued a color challenge last spring - create an 18 x 24 quilt based on the colors of a fish. We picked from envelopes with paint chips representing each fish; I got "cowfish", which had 4 colors: turquoise, gold. rust and dark brown. This is the finished quilt. It started with a fat quarter turquoise sunprint, then I added stenciling and printing with a textured brayer. The sunprint was done in summer of 2010. Since the colors fit this challenge, I added the dark brown by adding the wavy strips and borders. Because the background reminds me of things celestial, this is called "Cowfish Cosmos".
