Default Quilting design for my hunters star

I'm not very good at quilting my own quilts because I am fairly new at this. What I would like are suggestions what to do with the quilt. I can stitch around the stars but what fillers would you recommend?
This is the hardest part of quilting for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I put a pantograph on my Hunter Star quilt. My friend Kathy does a wonderful job with fills and stars, take a look at this one she did just recently - http://tamarackshack.blogspot.com/20...oon-quilt.html

I also have a Hunters star waiting to be quilted, as sending it to a LA is out of the question I have been looking for inspiration of how I could quilt this on my DM
Hope some one comes to our rescue bbeyes.

Check Pinterest. Lots of inspiration. Type hunters star into the search engine.

I love the way this Hunter's Star quilt was done. The longarmer made it look almost like a DWR. http://mmmquilts.blogspot.com/2013/0...for-paula.html

I came across a picture in one of my magazines Kamaiarigy and what they did was stitch about 1/4 from the seam line down the center of the star. I tried it and like the look of it. How to fill the big triangles thats simple has me frustrated. I can't do all the fancy things not good at free motion yet.
