One little stitch can make all the difference when it comes to quilts. It can frame a block exactly how you want it to be, it an distract from things you don’t love, and it can decorate the quilt as a whole.
In this case, it really is one little stitch. If you learn how to do this, you can make an intricate swirling pattern that looks amazing with a wide array blocks.
With your fabric, all you need to do is move it in a C shape as you sew, and loop it back around in the opposite direction. Eventually, it will create the swirl!
I like doing this design best on simplistic blocks with not a lot of detail. It really lets these stitches shine, and it allows the texture to be in the forefront.
Whether you use this stitch to create a beautiful frame for your quilt around the edges, have it burst out of one corner, or use it all over for a beautiful pop.
