I like that idea too, especially as I'm thinking of using something floral as the center block. Do you know of any pictures that would show what you're thinking of?
When Scissor Queen wrote that, I envisaged sewing a wiggly line all through the chain in one direction, the wiggles perhaps being between two and three inches long. Then coming back the other way, again wiggling, again about the same length, but forming roughly leaf shapes along the way. Because these shapes are freeform, they don't look 'wrong', and I have used this type of design up and down sashing a lot, as it's so easy to do. I hope that helps.
