Sometimes a quilting design needs just a little something extra!
An orange peel border already has those lovely repeating curves, but I wanted to give this one more interest and excitement. My addition? A few easy loops!
The loops bring another bit of movement to the orange peel design. I love how such a simple addition can make a familiar quilting pattern feel more playful.
If you want to give this a try, spend a few minutes doodling the design on paper first. Draw the orange peel curves, add the loops, and see how you like the combination. Then try it on a practice sandwich before moving to your quilt.
There’s room to experiment here. The goal is to find a version that you enjoy stitching and that works with your quilt.
Would you leave an orange peel border as it is, or would you add a few loops for extra fun?
