Follow the flow of the piecing. So a row of feathers or holly, like a previous poster suggested, in the red and one in the red/white. I had a similar donation quilt and I did feathers. The quilt I did had one row white and one row floral. I quilted purple in the white row. I could see white Holly in the red rows and red in the white/red rows. this is a very nice quilt with a classic feel.
