Default Can't Decide

This is my Nephew's wedding quilt. His and Her colour choices and design AKA Pottery Barn.
I thought I'd kick it up a bit with the oakleaf/feather design thru the centre and then horizontal and vertical lines to imitate a loose plaid.
I got this far and now I'm not sure. I know I'm tired. There is no rush for the completion. I have at least 2 weeks yet.
Do I need the extra quilting to complete the plaid? or is this enough? Would plaid be too much?

I like it the way it is. The leaves/feathers show up nicely from the background lines. Lovely quilt!

I finally got a shot that shows more of the texture and quilting design.

I like it the way it is. Beautiful quilt. Look at it again when you are not so tired.

I like it. It looks modern with a hint of traditional. Would the vertical lines make it look busy?

That's my concern!

Sometimes, less is more! I'd leave it as is ... beautiful!

Sometimes more is a good thing, but other times more is just more. I think the quilt is beautiful the way it is and more quilting might take away from the beauty you have created. I think it's time to square it up and bind it! It is a beautiful quilt!

Beautiful as is. I would follow Cybrarian's advice, just square it up and bind. I wish this quilt was for me!
