My swirls always came out so-so so I knew there had to be a better way, found this online and really loved it, so simple to follow. I know most of you already probably knew this but since I just learned it I thought I would share in case someone else can use it!

I followed this tutorial and created the attached svg file according to her directions, just modify the pattern or drawing on the left and then use the middle tile!
Huge thanks to Very Simple Designs for taking the time to do this!
