I love your quilt top. The finished quilt is going to be beautiful.
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. This isn't a quilt I have made yet, just the picture of the pattern, which I have included so you can see how the blocks are made up. The fabrics I intend to use are much busier, and although some are lighter and more tone on tone, they still won't really lend themselves to intricate quilting, but I like your idea of a ginko leaf outline.
