Default Quilting designs that highlight well matched points?

Greetings,

I am new to this board. I am currently working on a queen sized Lone Star quilt and am using all the tricks I know to make the points of all the pieces line up exactly right. So far, it's looking really good.

As I think ahead to what quilting design I might use, I want to keep the visual emphasis on piecing and the really nice alignment of the pieces. I often see the comment that various quilting patterns are good for making minor piecing imperfections less noticeable, but I've never seen a quilting pattern noted as being good for highlighting precise piecing.

What, in your opinion, makes a quilting pattern highlight precise piecing? Is it better to have the quilting pattern go through many of the seam intersections? Or avoid doing so?

I plan to quilt this on my DSM with a walking foot, but I'm happy to have the pros and cons of various FMQ design options discussed, too.

Thanks for your input!
