I would meander the entire quilt. To many corners to do straight for me.

I am loving this pattern and your choice of fabrics. It looks like some 1930's prints. Where do you shop for your vintage fabric? I do not have a clue how to quilt it, sorry, I am still admiring the quilt. Could you show a larger picture of your quilt. Thanks.

Here's a possible design that is done with all straight lines. Each butterfly could be completed before moving on to the next one by doing one set of wings, sewing across the middle of the body and doing the other set of wings.

The quilt is super cute! KarenK has a great idea!

This was my thought, also.

Shadow stitching 1/4 inch into the butterflies, both wings and bodies. Don't know about the rest or if you would even need more except for the border.
