Beautiful quilt! If you are willing to spend some bucks on the quilting, I would ask her to quilt the background of the points with a small filler (pebbles, McTavishing) using a thread that matches the color of the fabric she is quilting on - this would make the points faux trapunto and really show off. I would ask her to repeat that same design in the inner circles of you NY Beauty and do another small filler on the solid bands between the points and the inner circles...again using thread that matches the material. In the blue background between all the circles I would put curved crosshatching.
Oh to heck with the budget, I'd just send it to Karen McTavish and ask her to work her magic!!!
