And, those lovely batiks need to be seen, too... I can't call it stitch in ditch, or 1/4" quilting, as I think sid is too close, and 1/4" is too far, hence 1/8"...lol...ah well, that is why we all are unique, eh?..
Good luck, and I know there will be others along who will have lots of great quilting ideas for you!!

PS Now on the borders, I think a design that picks up designs in your quilt would be lovely...
I guess I must be old fashioned, too. I like the "outline quilting". It seems to carry the piecing pattern over onto the back very well.
