Default Quilting Suggestions for Diamond Ring??

So I've finished the top for my parents' 60th Anniversary quilt, pin-basted it, and now I'm stuck. It's been nearly a year and I really want to get this done. I plan to outline all the rings, and probably the diamonds in all the arcs too. I just can't decide what to do in the ring centers. The quilt on the pattern leaflet was done with diagonal lines that formed an "X" in all the centers. I am not sure I want to do that since nearly half the centers contain signatures or messages. I am afraid it will obscure the writing. But it will definitely need some quilting in those large center sections. I have considered invisible nylon thread, but it's not my first choice.

Any ideas? Thanks for your input!
