Well I am going to be different....the big flowers just jump out at me and I would chose to do various sized flowers. Maybe adding some leaves and fun curly stems. The bold and bright fabrics are fabulous, you created a grand quilt. Thank you for sharing.

How is the quilt going to be used when done? Since I don't think any quilting will show up well due to the fabrics, why not tie it if it's going to be used as a throw/bed quilt? Little ties of white pearl cotton would blend right in to the top. Which, I like, BTW. Are you keeping or giving away?

Ditto on the meander ... your extra work of another design won't really show up.
That being said, you might want to consider what the backing fabric is.
If it's plain, you might want quilting that will "show" and quilt it with the backside as the front. Eg. butterflies? or another all over design that works with the theme!
Or if the back is another print, again, you may want to flip it over as the front, and outline the print design. Eg. if it keeps with the teme and is an all over hawaiian floral, then you might to outline the large flowers

I like the way you have used the fabric.
