Last Of The Roses

Rita's block was the last one I worked on in the Roses, Roses, Roses round robin.  As you can see, it's pretty full, with the exception of the middle.  Not even a seam empty!  I had two options - make a really dramatic middle or tone the middle down to let the other works around the edges draw the eye.  Because of the prints, I decided to go with the latter.  You can see my work below.
