Trip Around the Rose

Trip Around the World is traditionally done with highly contrasting fabric to show up the design, but I wanted to make this one blended instead.  I tried to make it look like a giant rose, with a yellow center, and the color gradually lightening toward the edge of the flower.  All the fabrics used in the rose itself are rose prints, and the "leaves" on the edges were made from leaf fabrics.  This went to my friend, Fae Massey.
