Default need help deciding on quilting a large top.

I have made a 104 x 104 top to cover my king mattress. It will be tucked in as it is on a platform bed. It is made of batiks in all colors. I used a double cut layer cake pattern. I want it to be puffy and look more like a comforter so do I tie it or quilt a design.....I thought if I quilt design it should be curvy as it is very geometric in looks. I used a polyester thick batting to get the loft and the package says to quilt 2 to 4 inches apart. I have a sweet sixteen machine I free motion quilt on. I am much better sewing small designs that large stipleing (sp). HELP! Thanks ahead of time as I know there will be someone with better ideas than mine....
