Well, since no one has offered any quilting ideas, I'll try! I'm going to assume you're planning to machine quilt, because handquiting a Log Cabin is soooooooooo hard with all those seams! I tried and gave up!
Hmmm - curves - I agree - I like curves when the blocks are full of straight lines. Maybe feathers? It sort of depends on how comfortable you feel with your machine quilting. Long, graceful curves along the dark and light diagonal lines would look nice. You could space them close together like cross-hatching - or leave them as wide apart as your batting recommends.

Beautiful, beautiful quilt! Love the narrow red border. Your colors are fabulous! My 10+ year quilt is one of my faves too (Ocean Waves on black). Really good things take a really long time. Congrats on getting there. Do you hand or machine quilt? Overlapping circles might be really fun!

The narrow red border really emphasizes the distinction between the center and the scrappy border. The scrappy border finishes off the quilt beautifully. I love your whole design!
