:thumbup: I agree, Lenny, and it kind of resembles the shape of a puzzle piece.
Meandering is kind of like stippling, but it is a larger design and usually used for filling in spaces larger than you would fill in with stippling.
When stippling is used around a motif inside of a quilt block, it can help the motif to stand out.
