Default Looking for Quilting Suggestions

I finished putting together this little (24x24 inches) quilt and now I'm at a loss for how to quilt it. I will be FMQ and I prefer to do something more than echo quilting or SITD but I don't want to take away from the quilt top pattern either. I value all the opinions I get when I ask for help on here. You are a great bunch of helpful people!

I just was looking at a neat website called theinboxjaunt.com. She has a lot of great quilting ideas. Thanks to Tartan for posting it.

I would stitch 1/4" of the inside of the piecing kind of like how a hand quilters would quilt it. Very pretty.

Since the quilt is straight lines, I would do something with a lot of curves.

You could look at www.patsythompsondesigns.com - she certainly has lots of ideas for simple patterns - Look at the titles across the top of her page, just above the flower - there are lots of quilting ideas and tutorials to choose from.

I would try a different squiggle or feather or something, in each of the bands around, and then different fillers for the star and it's white background.
