Default Quilting suggestions needed

I was asked to make a quilt to help raise funds for our local sports they are going to raffle it off. I have my top all pieced together . And now to think how to quilt it. In the corners where it says KV I plan on sticking a little bronc like the big one in the center. The backing will be a dark blue, I was thinking on outlining my letters and maybe a stipple around the bronc in the center, but how should I do the rest of the quilt?

No ideas on the quilting but it looks amazing.

Wonderful top! I like your idea to SITD around the letters and then stipple behind them to make them puff a bit. That will make these areas fairly dense so you will need a good amount of quilting in the quilt body so it's consistent. You could SITD around each block and then do the same Bronc outline in each block? It won't be noticeable in the front but would look neat on the back if the backing is plain. An all over large meander in a gold thread would also look good.

Your idea great with cross hatching along the diagonals. Then something in the squares not sure what.

My inclination would be to SitD around blocks, with a cursive KV in the gold squares. I like the idea of outlining the letters, but also the main bronco, with a large stiple or small meander outside that (less density) I think it's really a matter of how much work you want to put into it at this point.

I think I would SITD around each block and then a simple "curvy" design inside...one that you can repeat for each block.

What a fantastic top you made. I am a ditcher because I don't like when the quilting is more pronounced that the piecing.
