I agree with the comments made about using gray thread. There is also a green thread that is amazing for disappearing but I can't remember the color. If you have a stitch in the ditch foot that would help you if you go for the straight lines.

Do you have a walking foot? There was a blog posted here once "Thirty one days of walking foot quilting". Lots of easy, slightly curved ideas and even I could do them! I'm thinking the one named "waves" would look great on this.

Such a lovely palette you used, your quilt is spectacular. I think the orange thread for quilting would be perfect, I would do all over quilting(same pattern repeated all over the quilt) or stitch in the ditch.

Beautiful quilt! Since it is a more modern design, straight line vertical quilting about an inch apart would look great. Lately I have also seen several quilts with just vertical line quilting, but the lines were just slightly curvy in a random basis--but never crossing over each other-sometimes half inch apart and up to about two inches apart. This gives a Slightly softer look to a geometric pieced pattern..
