@nataliabonner: Here’s how I machine quilt a fun echoed swirl background filler! ✨ I begin by stitching a swirl—spiraling into the center while leaving space to swirl back out. At the center, I pause to create a sharp point before swirling my way back out. Then comes the fun part: adding echoed lines! Sometimes I echo just a quarter of the swirl, other times almost all the way around. Just repeat and let it flow! We all start somewhere, and the Piece N Quilt Academy is a great place to begin your machine quilting journey. 💫 Mention Academy below and we’ll send you the info!
