Default Need ideas on how to quilt this one

I've been trying to figure out how to quilt this one that's for my son-in-law. Everything I draw out for it seems too feminine. I love using sheets of clear plastic and wet erase markers to audition quilt designs! The blocks are 6 1/2". The inner border is 2", and the outer border is 6 1/2". I did a version of this quilt that I hand quilted, and on it, I did stitch in the ditch on all seams, then on the blocks, did outline quilting about 1/2" inside each of the triangles in the block. (I don't remember what I did on the borders.) I don't think that will work when machine quilting tho. It's too much ruler work, and too many starts and stops. I know I want to do something different in the borders, so no edge-to-edge.

Any ideas on a quilting design that will compliment the pattern? I'm pretty sure really intracate quilting won't show up on the prints, so I guess I'm looking for something that will give some nice texture and more of a masculine look.

Thanks in advance for your help,
LeeAnn
