Very pretty! My favorite colors too! Fancy quilting is not my forte, so I'll leave that up to the pros!

Repeat on each line and you will end up with a four petal flower in each area.

Great suggestion...............use Crayola Ultra-Wash markers (in the kids art section of even a grocery store) and mark each diamond. I'll bet if you start in the center and do a figure 8 type with the top and bottom petals, stopping in the middle and then going east and west, you could even do it with your walking foot, if you are concerned about the quality of your FMQing. Beautiful quilt and it will even be more so when it is quilted. Be sure and post the after pictures too.

I would look for a continuous line design for inside the plain area and a different design that fits the 4 sides and center in each pieced block. I would keep that one a bit simpler and go a fancier in the plain area.
