I would crosshatch the rest of the top in the diagonal, maybe 1 in apart. My reasons for doing this: Pretty designs show up best on light colors, and, for me, diagonal quilting is quickest and easiest stitching. Just my ideas, lots of good ones here for you to chose from. Happy quilting!
This is great advice. I also will echo what someone else said about the PnS creating another layer to hand quilt through. Personally, I would choose another stencil method...perhaps using a ceramic pencil.
