Since it is your quilt you get to choose the quilting - I think it's the most exciting, fun part of the whole process!!! I would look online at other embroidered quilts and see the quilting done on them. From that you will find what appeals to you and what doesn't and it also gives you something to copy!!! If you are more comfortable with following lines when doing your quilting, I would use a water-erasable marker like those from Mark-B-Gone and draw out the pattern desired for quilting and have at it. You do need to do the drawing before you make the quilt sandwich (easier to draw on). After the quilt is quilted and bound, just soak in cold water to remove your markings, lay quilt out and block to make sure it is completely squared on the corners and the sides are straight. I would test the marker's disappearing qualities on a scrap of material or on the very edge of my quilt before I committed the marker to the center of the quilt!!!
