I'm working on a small wall quilt. The quilt top is done and I'm thinking about how to quilt it, but my standard ways of quilting (in the ditch and outline) don't seem like they'd quite work with this. This is a modified version of a quilt from one of the Super Simple Quilts books, and in the picture I have of the quilt from the book (which actually is from a Joann's flyer, I haven't seen the book) it looks like it was quilted with a series of big (12"+) X's.
Anyhow, does anyone have any suggestions on easy ways to quilt this? I helped a friend make a similar one, her first quilt, and I'd like to be able to suggest an easy way for her to quilt it as well.

Really I want something fairly easy as patience and precision are not my strong points!

Then what about some sort of geometric pattern. When I went on quiltingstencils.com I saw some really neat patterns that were geometric. Even something like the clamshell will add a lot of interest, it'll put curves against your squares.
