Very Pretty. I think that I would echo every block into the pink, blue and even into the borders. Echoing adds a new pattern and adds depth. I think the blue would be a great choice of thread color to add the new dimension. Again it's very pretty, you did a great job, I'm sure your daughter will love it.

Very pretty! You could SITD but I might do a crosshatch instead. You could use the square corners to quilt the grids. It would add nice texture but still be easy. I would match the thread to the top and the backing fabric.

I agree with Tartan. But whatever you do it will be beautiful.

Yep, I would go with diagonal lines. Corner to corner of each block. It's very pretty by the way.

Another vote for diagonals. I'd probably use a medium grey thread which would blend with both fabrics and not call attention to itself.

I also think diagonal lines would be best.
