This is another one of Leah Day's quilt busting designs - Spiral Ornaments.
I am happy to say that I don't have any quilts to complete at the moment, except for the binding on my 'Practice quilt'. This design would have been good for the sashing in that quilt.
I am glad I watched Leah's video...before this, I imagined that this would be stitched all in one hit and I wondered how I would keep this consistent. Then discovered that Leah just stitched a line and did the spirals after. So simple.
This is a great design. I could imagine this also in a border...with the right quilt this could look really nice and it uses a lot of space in a very short time, so is a brilliant idea to finish off a section very quickly. I stitched mine on a little practice piece and tried two versions, as I had already forgotten how many times one was supposed to go around it...I like the first one where I went around it three times. It's very easy to stitch and is really relaxing.

Your spirals turned out wonderful. Funny, I thought they would be stitched all at once too. Glad I took the time to watch the video.
