Personally, I LIKE the white space! I wouldn't fill it with anything but some glorious quilting!!

Ditto on just adding pretty quilting in the corners. Flowers in different sizes, from small to the largest in the largest space and then shrinking back down would fill the space and if it were me, I would quilt it in white. It is so pretty and "crisp" as is.

I agree with Jackie about the quilting.

What about using several of the blues to echo the fans, instead of just one in the border, since there is a lot of white and it might be too much contrast going from the white to a dark blue. The other option is the gold color for a border and then bind it in dark blue.

I would just mirror the fans with quilting when I quilted it. Beautiful so far!

What a great space for some custom quilting. Anything else would distract.

I would quilt it with colors of your fabric, Blue or Yellow and you could alternate the borders blue or yellow, Either would make it nothing but the happiest of quilts. Anxious to see finished photos.

I also agree that is is beautiful the way it is. Adding embroidery would make it too busy. I would add a narrow border of yellow and wider of blue.
