I did my first foundation-pieced quilt using a diamond pattern. Actually, I found the fabric for the border (a Laurel Burch design) and had to come up with a quilt to match! After I finished piecing the top, I took a free-motion quilting class, so I took the plunge and did a swirly pattern for the quilting with variegated thread. Some of swirls aren't very "smooth", but overall it came out OK. Instructor recommended choosing busy pattern for backing, so that your quilting mistakes aren't as obvious ... so I did!
