I am fascinated with herringbone stitch - it is so versatile.It serves you well as a filling stitch.
This was one of the patterns I embroidered on my bedlinen.
In India, herringbone stitch is an integral part of embroidery - especially kutch work.
You can do shadow work too with herringbone. This is the front and back of a shadow worked flower.
And even play around with it to make this
