Great job! I really like it, especially how your reds are perfectly balanced throughout the wreath and the bow makes a great finishing touch!
I would consider using a slightly different technique, I would paper-piece just the wreath sections and then applique it onto the background, like a Dresden plate. Those skinny strips in the center scare me! Or if I had a slim wedge ruler then I would create my fabric using a giant piece of paper and randomly sewing pieces on it, then use the ruler to make the wedges of the wreath.

my-ty...there are no skinny strips in the middle...that's quilting.
This was pieced similar to how a NY Beauty is done. Make the pieces that make up a 1/4 of the circle and then there is a 1/2 circle piece to add to the inside and the outside to turn that into a square and you sew all four squares together to form a complete circle.
