Pic of YBR quilt
Here's a pic of my YBR quilt. I meandered and it turned out nice. The colors are very feminine but the green in the pic is much darker looking in the pic than in real life. I don't think this pic really does the pattern justice.
I like Prism's wave idea because your fabrics are more modern looking. Good luck in your effort. Would like to see a pic of the finished quilt. - Stitch124

I suggest using the serpentine stitch( a very forgiving stitch) with your walking foot. Its a wavy stitch and will soften some of the hard lines of the quilt. I would quilt across the quilt diagonally. Maybe use a variegated thread that has some of the colors.
Love your YBR.

My suggestions are to either use a serpentine stitch going diagonally across the quilt, both directions. Or if you want to be adventurous try a large meander/stipple stitch all over the quilts. Or loops all over.
Variegated threads are my favorite for quilting.

Your selection of fat quarters was a job well done. I like the textures that you chose. Have you thought of just doing straight stitching called cross hatching? I use painter tapes to mark the diagonal lines. You might want to Google quilting stencils and see if there is anything you want to try. I can't wait to see what you create when you work on "quilts that I am more excited about".
I love your choice of fabrics and colors. YBR has been on my bucket list for a long time.
