Here's a quilt I recently finished for my Sister-in-law.  She asked for a quilt with red and with flowers so the beautiful red and white floral border was my starting point.  I only had 1/2 yard of it, but thankfully I had a bunch of fun red and white fat quarters that matched the red in the border fabric - yay!

A good beginner quilt project
I decided on a pretty basic pattern and bought some solid red fabric for the sashing and binding. 

The Quilting

I planned on an overall quilting design but added a little twist to make it interesting.  Here's the basic plan drawn on my plexiglass:

The Quilting Plan
I divided the quilt into diagonal sections and did a different motif in each section.  The circle quilting in the sashing made it easy to stop and start each section as I rolled the quilt on the longarm.
quilt as desired solutions
I used chalk to divide the border into matching diagonal sections.

I got brave and used solid white for the backing!  The diagonally quilted motifs show up much better on the back.
