Sometimes you need a pattern that will fill an ENTIRE block, and this super-simple flower works perfectly in that situation…
I always have to draw out the petal designs with my finger before I start, but once the first petal is in place, the rest just follow along!!
I love both the positive and the negative of this design…..
Give it try sometime!!!

I love a design that is fun to quilt and gives such fantastic texture.
Today, let’s quilt a BOUNCY FLOWER MEANDER…..
This design provides dense texture and a “bouncy” look…..
So….grab your practice piece and be like Tigger….

I love the paisley meander as a filler quilting design.
It starts with one simple shape and takes it to a whole other level…..
You get so much texture…..

It is always hard to find easy designs to use for large backgrounds, but I think that the ORANGE PEEL is PERFECT!!
AND, you can have SO much fun when you vary the size of your starting squares…..
So, next time you want a great background, pull out the “ORANGE PEEL”!!
