Oh, I like your card trick quilt. It is also a good way to use up scraps wihout it looking scrappy. I would do something simple for the quilting, but whatever you decide will look great.

I'd just do diagonal quilting in both directions, since you have a good sized quilt and are doing it on your domestic machine. Start in the center and work out.

I would shadow stitch 1/8 inch INSIDE of each color of the blocks in the block to make them pop. Don't stitch over where the part of the color is "hidden" so to speak in the design.

KK2000 basting spray best and the card trick blks are great
I would stiple in all the tan areas and stitch in the ditch aroung each of the colors on the cards...The stipling and then just the st in the ditch will make the cards pop..... and once you use the KK2000 you will love it. Any questions Please PM
The KK2000 will go away on its own or just with a med hot iron. Just make sure it is all gone before you would wash the quilt a week or so.

Diagonal lines would be easy. Just follow the pattern angles.

I've used June tailors spray basting and it works great. You could do a quilt as you go; you can either do it with sashing and then your quilt will be a little larger or just join the blocks and it'll be smaller but doing each block individually makes a quicker job and when you've joined the blocks it's done except for the binding.

Love your card trick! Spray basting works really well and you can find the wall method on youtube. Just search for spray basting in the youtube search and you'll get loads of tutes.
