What a beautiful Bargello!!!! Just wonderful. I have no suggestion for quilting though. On my Bargellos, I usually stitch in the ditch from top to bottom, about two inches apart. I can follow a straight line pretty well. 
I just don't like my quilting to show much. NOW, if I had a long arm, I would probably love the stitching to show! I am sure you will figure out exactly what you want. You have had good suggestions here.

Wow! You did a fabulous job! This is a real treasure.
You have such strong vertical lines in the quilt, I would not mess with that. I would use straight-ish lines top to bottom, varying the width to add emphasis where wanted, and perhaps a line of hand stitched thicker thread ie. 12 perle cotton, just a touch here and there. I would quilt using the same colour as the background whenever possible the perle cotton, as I think a line or two of similar blues on the red fabric and a line or two of similar reds on the blue fabrics would look delightful.
Be sure to post a pic post quilting...but honestly anything you do will be great, the quilt piecing is the star here.
