Around the World in 80 Stitches - Part 3 of 24

I just finished part 3 of the Around the World Stitch-a-Long. This section had some really interesting new stitches for me, as well as some stitches I already knew. This section had a lot less variety than the first two sections, so it was a bit easier to stitch up. Here's the whole section:

The center section has Satin Stitching, Buttonhole Wheels and Faggoting all done in DMC Perle cotton. The Buttonhole Wheels were a bit tricky, but otherwise this section was simple.

The top and bottom petals have the same stitches: a Point Russe in the center, surrounded by Russian Chain stitch (basically 3 lazy daisy petals joined in the center), with ray stitches in the corners, and Pulled Eyelet stitches at the tip.

The left and right petals have the same stitch layout with a different color scheme, but have satin stitching in the tips of the petal instead of pulled eyelets.
