Default "Inherited" quilt top--one step closer to completion

After many hours on the design wall, I finally came up with a back that I liked that didn't overwhelm the front. I wanted to make hearts from the left over squares and originally planned to use 4, but felt that it was too much...so I cut it down to 2 with the label in the middle and placed it all as a strip on the right side. I then made symmetrical strips following the layout of the front to "border" the label strip and used the border fabric to fill out the left side of the backing. I'll bind it with the border fabric.
Now to decide on the quilting...an all-over pattern? thread color? With a pieced back and front that don't share seam lines for the most part, is an all-over pattern the best bet? Opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

PS. More about this quilt, including pictures of the completed top and label can be seen on an earlier post at http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t261330.html
