Inkscape Live Path Effect goodies
Inkscape Live Path effects (LPEs) are neat, but unfortunately not well known and therefor underused.
Lately I found this video and the end results are very pleasant, but because of the lack of explanations and the speed of the video - it's hard to follow
I'll try to decompose it -- Basically you follow 3 steps
1. you draw a shape with the Path tools
2. You open the Path Effect Editor, and add "Spiro-spline" to this shape, this effect will smooth the nodes position and creates nice curves, easy on the eyes.
3. Then You add "Pattern Along Path" and click on the first symbol next to Pattern source (the one in orange)

The next steps are up to you, because it's just a matter of finding the right shape - then duplicate it, transform it (Object to Path) and resize, change the orientation, duplicate some more, change the color, etc ... until you find the right shape you like.
