Kind of a random size ranging from small to large, and to make sure you have a good mix of all those sizes in each block you're doing - not too many small ones in one place and all large in another. Sometimes I'd make like a figure eight, then backtrack to get a pebble in a certain place, but mostly I'd just go round again until I could come out to the place I'd want to make another pebble.
Clear as mud? :-) Just hang in there. I've found the more you practice the better it gets. These got easier to do as I moved along the quilt. And it really didn't take that long to do them.
