Bargello quilting ideas

I just finished piecing a Bargello wall hanging 53x72 with Christmas fabrics. Now I'm ready to machine quilt it but can't come up with any ideas. Any suggestions?

I am in a similar pickle. I decided to follow the lines of the shape in my Bargello. I did one called Nebula. The designer of the pattern suggested that and I have to say it really works.

I like it when the quilting lines follows the movement in the Bargello.

I quilted mine through the diagonal of each square following the different colours

Most of the bargellos I have seen have had similar quilting and it seems to work.
