It's super easy. First you make a little curl going in one direction. Check it out below:
Then make another one going the other direction.
Then make a third one in the opposite direction of the one you last did. You should have 3 now.
Then you go back and echo the 3 curls you just did. See below:
Then you do it all over again. I know, I know, you look at what I did and you can see that it's not what I do exactly everytime. Otherwise, it wouldn't be freehand, which is what I love to do. I just try to keep it pretty consistant. Eight years of machine quilting and teaching and I never get tired of this freehand design!

beautiful quilting Vivian! in fact it was quite a treat reading thru your log tonight..I was way behind in my reading.
Just beautiful; thanks for the lesson!
Neat - I'll have to try it with my domestic!
Thanks for that lovely quilt design. I am definitely going to have to use that one for my next quilt, even without a longarm.
What a lovely design!
Thanks Vivian... I just tried your techinique with pencil and paper. It is really nice and easy to do. I have the perfect project to try it on, but first I have to finish the top!
I just recently discovered your blog and have been enjoying the pictures and information. Thank you for sharing how you did this particular pattern. I have a wall hanging that would totally suit this type of quilting but I was unsure as to how to go about it. Happy Quilting!
