First, there was Peak Blooms. 

Then, I took the center motif and incorporated it into an organic-looking edge-to-edge design with spirals called Bloomlet.

Now, the same center motif is in its simplest form yet: in a gently undulating, rhythmic string of petals. 



At a glance, I love how overall this design reads like juicy, rounded shapes. The texture is spectacular, even on a quilt top with busy prints like the one shown in this blog post.



It's fast to stitch thanks to its simple design and smooth stitch path.

There's enough space between the four-petaled motifs for some breathing room, and yet the staggered rows (the offset amount is 25% with this one) create an interesting, off-kilter dynamic that isn't perfectly symmetrical. I believe that helps give this design a charming, somewhat loose, home-spun quality.



I think this design would be great for quilts with busy prints, floral-themed tops, or when a client requests quilting with a loose or minimal density.
