Here's my thoughts.
SID around blocks to anchor everything.
Loose stipling in white background
Echo in rectangles, squares, and triangles
Loopy design or feather wreath in red squares.
You are right that an over-all would not look good. I did a similar quilt and had an over-all done (only time I sent one out to be long-armed) and am sorry I did that. Sure wish I had done my own quilting.
Best of luck, the quilt is lovely.

Your quilt is stunning!

Very, very nice. I agree with your assessment - too many quilts are over-quilted these days, for some reason.

Beautiful quilt and what a nice gift. I agree that too much quilting would take away from the pieces but I am unable to make a suggestion. Sorry

Are you using a whole cloth backing? It would be unique if you stitch in the ditch around each center square and windmill square in the blocks then around each side of the complete block(s). What thoughts have you had about it?

This girl thinks like I do :-D

I agree with you. I was going to suggest stitching in the ditch but figured I would read on to other suggestions.
