Default Quilting ideas

How do most of you quilt regular log cabin blocks? I'm in process of doing an aqua and Ivory/white one. The layout created a fairly large white centre star. I embroidered a mummy and baby dolphin on this with the background all quilted varying sized bubbles or pebbles. I have four same sized Aqua stars to quilt and I'm not quite sure what to do in these. Embroidery wouldn't really work because it would be too fussy. Is there any particular reason for not using stitch in the ditch? Would it be ok if I did a 'not quite stitch in the ditch'? The back of the quilt is made up of the same sized 2inch strips as the log cabin but just in bands rather than log cabin. If any seams on the back correspond with any on the top, it's accidental rather then by design. The quilt is for a toddlers first bed so I think I want to keep it snugly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
