In this sample I used the By Hand Heather Ross collection of fabrics together with a selection of co-ordinating Ruby + Bee Solids.

I love the mix of sawtooth stars and HSTs in the blocks!

These are exactly how the quilt got its name! - Stars and Thorns

The black sashing in this sample is PERFECT to balance out all the bright colours!

The quilt design needed something extra to complete the look, and this triple border is EXACTLY what it needed! I love the rose print in this one - so fitting for the name!

I sent this sample to Matante Quilting - she chose such a great panto for this quilt!

Stella Rose finishes at 72" square - a perfect large throw size for snuggling!
