Oh good???? I was worried it was just me. lol This snail trail looks good.
Yes, it does bother me, but I hoped I'd be able to determine a way as part of the final design to get around it. Maybe solid corner blocks or something. I can also rotate two of the blocks and the difference is not as obvious, as shown.[ATTACH=CONFIG]572709[/ATTACH]

I was using a restaurant restroom and noticed some tile trim that would make a great quilt border. So now I have an idea for a border, but am stumped on what to do in the field. Here is the border. Any ideas on a block type that would look good. All I could come up with was to use it on a quilt with a lot of the beige background. Maybe something on point? Help, and thank you.

For some reason I am seeing this border done in sea blues in my mind, but I'm not positive what goes inside either. I think something with curves and movement suits - I like the suggestions for drunkard's path, and the snail blocks look good too. Storm at sea is probably too busy unless you put a solid border between.
Maybe an Around the World but cut sort of like a Bargello so the blocks in the center are smaller?
I love finding patterns in the ordinary world around me. I take all kinds of weird photos that only would make sense to another quilter.
