Do you want the stitching to show? or just the texture? Contrast quilting like your pink on the background will show...ALOT. SO if you confident in your quilting abilities, go for it! In the busy areas like the borders or star centers? i would pick a tan or taupe. Don't worry much about those areas. You could do wonderful custom quilting and no one would be the wiser. I would suggest piano keys or bead board in the border. I will try to doodle some ideas..but no promises! lol I doodle with thread MUCH better than with a computer mouse or pencil!
