How about quilting diagonal lines thru the blocks in both directions. Use a walking foot if you have one. I love the boxed squares pattern. Your colors are wonderful! I'm cutting a Christmas version right now.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]445955[/ATTACH]One of my favourite but easy FMQ pattern us orange peel. I do it by drawing squares with chalk and then stitching between them in a continuous manner. Since you already have the grid (squares) you could use it to do the design. I will post a picture of some placemats I used it on. I drew in one square of the grid but I grid the whole placemat and can sew the whole design without stopping.

I too have been working on two Square in a square tops for charity....... I have never done a scrappy one.......
JuneBillie, all you do is cut 3" stripes at least from my pattern. If you look carefully, you will see that she rotates the blocks so you NEVER match a seam. They don't tell you that in the pattern book.

I like how yours is scrappy! This pattern was on my 'wish list' too. So a few months back I made one with every other one being white. It was a very light colored quilt. I like the look of yours better. Nice work!
You can always cursive words into your quilt! I've done that on a few quilts so far. Sometimes instead of making a regular label.
