Default 900 HST's finished....how to quilt?

Please don't look too too closely. I did some Horrible piecing on this quilt. But I wasn't motivated enough to start with the seam ripper. I just wanted to "get 'r done' so to speak.

It has 900 HST with scraps, but controlled with all the same white-on-white, and measures 99x99. I may add a few more rows on the bottom seeing as I have oodles of HST's left over.....

I am really VERY new to long-arming, so any suggestions on how to quilt this bad boy?

Thanks


ps: sorry...unsure how to rotate the pic....but you get the idea....

It is pretty and cheerful. Please don't fret over miner imperfections. I would probably quilt vines in the larger white areas ans flowers in the smaller ones and the 4 triangle squares.

I have no clue on how to quilt it as I send all of mine out to be quilted. Just wanted to let you know your quilt is very colorful and beautiful.

Since you are so new to quilting, I'd stick with something not too complicated. Maybe swirls on the white part, then straight diagonal lines in the printed part.
