Default Another question about this OBW

You all have been such great help while I've struggled with this OBW. I am working on the quilting and decided to do 'stitch in the ditch' for the hexis even though I'm not fond of SID. I started doing an orange peel but really didn't like the way that looked and took it all out. Anyway, I'm using a batting that I had from a long time ago and it says the quilting needs to be 1"- 1 1/2". So I probably need to add something in the middle of the triangles. I measured and from point to mid-line of the opposite side it measures slightly less than 3". The mid-point would be about 1 1/2".

I've had a couple of different ideas but I'm open to more.

1. Tie a knot in the center of each triangle. That would have the old tied quilt appearance, I think.
2. Sew a line halfway between the lines that are there. That would be 3 lines intersecting in the middle of each triangle.

I want the finished quilt to look good..... do you all have any more ideas? Or, which would you do if this was your quilt?
