Many many years ago, I posted this:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1415#p17111For whatever reason, I never shared how I created it and left it a mystery even unto myself. So, I'm wandering the web looking for certain vector patterns when I come across the thread I just posted. So, here I am once again, only this time I will share how I made this (even if most of you already know how. Remember FreeImage and Poincare, Lyle. FUN times!) Anyway. Whatever you do, if you're going to follow along, keep your path design small enough to rotate.
You will need this script:

Open a fairly decent size image: 800 x 800 with black background.
Then create a joined path (which mean the entire path is connected). Have it look something like mine, but make it a little different to suit yourself:
Then while in DESIGN mode, flare out the handles to round it off. Like shown below:
Ok, now, look at the rotation threshold. Will it go outside your image's border? Yes = rescale the path. No = leave it as it is.
If you uploaded the path copy rotate.scm and are good to go, right click on the new path in the Path dialog, and scroll down and select it. Here are my settings (notice Use Image Center is selected):
When done, merge all visible layers (make sure they are checked <eye>) then stroke the path whatever color you desire.
