    Default Need help finding quilting ideas for snails tail quilt

    A while ago I thought I saw a snails tail quilt someone on this board had quilted but now I can't find it. I like to look at other quilters ideas on how to fill in some of the blocks. Does anyone here know how I can research pictures of quilts done with the snails tail pattern? I think it is also called the Monkey wrench pattern. I tried to do an advanced search with each pattern name but couldn't find anything.
    I have included the picture of the quilt pattern I am trying to quilt.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Try snail's trail (not tail). It should show up in a search on the board.

    Meant to add - I love that quilt! Lovely colors.
