No Backtrack Orange Peel Extended Width

Love the orange peel look but not the extra stitching? No Backtrack Orange Peel keeps the soft curves and removes the need to trace the same line twice.

This modern circle quilt design forms long arcs that flow across the quilt top. The look is clean, fresh, and easy on the eye. Try it on bed quilts, solid fabric, modern blocks, or projects that need a soft touch beside sharp piecing.

The pattern is an extended-width design, so you place it more like a block than a standard repeat. Each row can stitch from left to right and then return to finish the design. Files that stitch from left to right only are also included.

Use the default size with no offset, no gap, and no backtracking. The download has more than 15 digital formats for many longarm quilt systems.

Smooth curves. No doubled lines. Just a clean orange peel finish that lets your quilt shine.
