Another nice variation is to make each petal as its own little sandwich, sewing right sides together with fairly sturdy stabilizer, clip the seams, turn the petal right side out pin it in place under the circle and sew it down. That would make a 3D flower. Not what you want tight now, but you might enjoy doing it on another quilt.
Looks to me to be turned under edges. Look a the lavender petal on the bottom. You can see the fold.

took me a good while to learn that trick, too. Comes in handy!

I have (years ago) made quilts like it. I would cut out each full petal pin and hand applique the flower, animal, etc. onto a white square sew the blocks together, and finish it up. I started quilting in 1965-66. Had to use scissors to cut everything. I made one Daughter a quilt like that, it was called a Dahlia quilt, I bet that is it.

I'd cut all my petals pretty much the same and just overlap them until I have the flower looking like I want it to look.
There are several methods you can use to turn under the edge. Do whatever is comfortable for you. I'm sure the gift will be loved.
