The twisty turny effect of this "snail tail" pattern compelled me to accent the piecing by quilting a sorta whirlwind into it. I used lots of swirly variations throughout the piece, along with some dot-to-dot orange peel quilting. In the borders I quilted a wave effect, which has such great movement. I love the overall look!
My quilting is all free-motion, hand-guided on an APQS longarm quilting machine.
In addition to quilting and trimming this piece, I also applied my "Effortless Binding". Joy gave me yardage fabric for the binding, and when the quilt returned to her, it was completely finished and ready to use. I have a new tool that I've been using to create the double fold binding WHILE stitching it in place to the front AND back of the quilt simultaneously. I'm having such a ball getting used to my new tool!
