Why can't zebras be orange?

This is my art quilt for the group Art Quilts Around the World. A fun little piece, random strips of orange on black, a bit of net over the top, some lovely bronze shiva stick and then some close quilting. Not entirely sure if one should quilt over the shiva stick!

This is how a zebra might look if I ruled the world! I saw zebras last week at Taronga zoo and nearly changed my mind a did a  piece using a real picture for reference, but this is how I see zebra stripes in my mind.

An exceptionally good book I have just 'read' on audio book is The Shifting Fog, by Kate Morton, kept me captivated till the end.
Off to work then a  lovely 2 days off - hooray.
