I would do an X in each diamond.. easy yet compliments the piecing..

I once quilted a rhombus shape using straight lines parallel to the top of each rhombus about an inch apart. It gave more zigzag feeling to the design if you are looking for that.

I would quilt curved lines across and down the centers creating a curvy grid.

I think I would quilt three lines across starting 1/4" from top, 1/4" from bottom, and then in the middle and go across. That is a lot of quilting so I don't know. I would definitely skip over the seam lines.

I love your color choices. Nice work so far.

Very nice colors and pattern. I also think outlining about 1/4" inside would help set-off the design.

Sorry folks, but I disagree with following the line of the piecing, or echoing, and think it needs something swirly or bubble shaped to break up the straight lines of the quilt and show the actual quilting.

That was my first thought too.
