Default straight line quilting on pinwheel blocks

Hi everyone, I am in the process of machine quilting a pinwheel quilt and am looking for suggestions with pictures if possible of how you straight line quilted your pinwheel blocks. Thanks

I've just outlined the inside and outside of pinwheels. I don't FMQ.

When I had my coordination, I used to use the darning foot using it's edge to stitch my straight lines. Otherwise, the only option is stitch with your walking foot, moving the quilt for each line you stitch. Wish you had posted a photo. If the pinwheels are connected, you can stitch straight diagonal, vertical and horizontal lines.

This is not my quilt/quilting, but I admit I "borrowed" the quilting design a couple times. She has feathers in alternate pinwheel blades, but you could leave them unquilted.
