I'm trying to create a swirly pattern using small squares. I think it will be a blend. The squares need to follow the curve so they rotate.
I've attached an image.
Any advice most appreciated.

I would try a dashed stroke. Add a width profile to it to vary the width.
Width profiles don't cooperate too well with blends, but can be added after expanding a blend.

or a pattern brush perhaps?

Good try, but it looks so flat, maybe a 3d program to achieve the twisting
