Here is a sample with different backgrounds. Personally, they take away from the wheels. The black allows the wheels and diamonds to float on the quilt and draws your eye to those components, which is what you want in this case. Of course, it is all up to you.
I love the bicycles. It would be the perfect back to this quilt.
Yes you can piece this easily. I will help you. Not paper pieced, just straight piecing. One step at a time...

I love the pattern. I'm still just in debate on the color. Maybe a really dark navy and a Bright something. I think I will end up with Red.... I just love to think about it sort of savor the moment before all the cutting and such.

Very neat but I agree that it looks like a variation of an old wagon wheel. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out at all.
I have a friend thats a cyclist and I'm making him a quilt. I went to google image search and found a bicycle image in clip art. I'm making it big and just appliqueing it on in the corner. I thought it would be simple and bold at the same time.

For me, as a Novice, this quilt will be the biggest challenge I have ever had!!!
