Ahhh, we all learned something new! Is there another name for it as well?

Oh, I can see how that would break up the busyness. Frame the picture with a small border before the final Frame .

I have just put one on my latest quilt and had no idea that it actually had a name!! Always love to learn a new term in quilting.

Consider it as "stop the eye" as a design element

Ha ! I've been using these for many quilts and didn't know it had a special name!
