Thorns & roses

Here are the thorns -- but where are the roses?
The strips were left over from cutting out the leaves for this small quilt (detail shown here), which uses the rose hips made earlier.Both quilts are A3 sized (about 11"x16"). That size is so quick to make!

This has a wonderfully old fashioned feel to it, which is a wonderful contradiction to the modern techniques you've used.

Wonderful? Twice in one sentence? I must have some more coffee - try awesome, excellent, interesting, great, marvellous, wondrous, miraculous, prodigious, astonishing, amazing, astounding, phenomenal ..................

Well, as Linda has given so many choices, I'll try 'marvellous'. I would've picked wonderful, but someone got there before me. I also like elegant. The colour of the leaves, Margaret? Is it very dark green or is that my brain interfering again?
