I would do a diagonal straight across each block making them on point, or if you are into machine quilting, I would quilt around each flower and do feathers to fill in between, Would look good either way.

I would quilt around the flowers in the center block as well as in the border print.

I've made patterns from simple quilting outlines, such as vines, braids, etc. Find a pattern and just repeat it.

Diagonal through the blocks following their angle and I would do a diamond arond that center flower and then echo from there out. Of course, I now nothing about doing the quilting in pretty patterns, I just do simple stitching.

Could you take a photocopy of one of the flowers in the fabric in black & white, and then using a dark marker draw in the basic shape lines you'd need to make it still look like that flower, and then take it to a photocopier & have it enlarged to the size you need? There are charts on line to tell you the % you would need to enlarge.
