If you are doing a solid a hand quilted Sashiko type design would be striking.

I would definitely SID or 1/4" from the ditch to give the blocks definition. I am a big fan of outline quilting fabric motifs. I think that would work well with large flashy florals. For an idea of what I am talking about here is a link to a quilt I made where I outline quilted every cat in the batik print in the border.
