Default Need your ideas on how to quilt this one

Normally I make charity quilts for Project Linus and simply do an all over FMQ of meandering or loopy loops on those quilts. I still consider myself just a notch above a beginner on FMQ with my longarm.

While recovering from knee surgery, I put together this quilt for my guest room. I also pieced three 18" pillows for that bed. The quilt is 84" X 100" and my largest project to ever make. I really want it to be special and have some sort of "design" that will make the stars really pop. I don't have any rulers or special things to use on the longarm.

If this was your quilt, how would you FMQ on the stars? How would you quilt on the other parts of the 16-patch block? What would you do in the teal borders? What would you do in the last border with the 2" blocks?

Keep in mind that my current skills only include meandering and doing loopy loops.

Thanks for your advice.
