My vote is for a diagonal crosshatch using the serpentine stitch. Just did this on a quilt of my own. It looks really nice! And you can use your walking foot. Personally, I envy the people who are awesome stipplers. Stippling hates me.... I'm seriously "skeered" of it! Guess I prefer the order of crosshatching to the more free-form awesomeness of stippling. I'm just that kind of gal.

When I am having trouble sewing a straight line (Arthur visiting) I use a serpentine (wavy) stitch.. Looks ok then as you are not staying in the ditch. For the larger squares I agree, a X will do fine. You can do the wavy stitch on the diagonal if you choose. Looks good on the back too.

For a newbie you did a great job. I'm also a newbie and I had to shelve my first attempt at lining up squares. Ugggggggg.....they don't match up. I had trouble with sashing and borders. I did a bad thing and didn't follow the directions on how to sew them on. I will never do that again.
