Default Best way to quilt this?

I'm not asking for would you do FMQ or any such fancy thing... I already know I will stitch in the ditch in all the squares and at the border strip but I'm asking more of a HOW question on getting around the squares and strips the easiest way for a domestic machine with not a real big throat space.

This quilt is almost queen size so is the best way to do each line separately (lots of starts and stops) or to go around each square and do double stitching in some places where some lines of stitching would overlap? I envision lots of turning nightmares doing it this way because of the bulk under a sort of small throat space. Help, I loved this pattern but now I don't know how to quilt it.

I do realize FMQ would solve the problem but I'm having tension issues only when I FMQ and don't feel like dealing with it right now. My walking foot will for sure work fine though. Any advice is much appreciated!
