I would put several rows of quilting following the up and down of the pattern ....chevrons...across each block. Love the fabrics you chose. Great job.

Pretty top! Rows of stitching following the chevrons would be the easiest or you could stitch 1/4 inch inside all the seam allowances in each diamond shape.

That is a fascinating quilt! I would get a piece of upholstery plastic and draw on it with erasable marker, to audition designs. Three rays that widen to the center and then narrow back down to the bottom point of each piece might look good. I would stay 1/4" out to avoid seams. Or you might come up with a simple motif for the center of each piece that would follow its shape. Browsing on pinterest might give you some ideas.

I agree with Tartan that 1/4" inside would look nice. Depending on how quickly you need this done, I also think that doing vertical columns of feathers (or maybe ones that curve from one column to the next at the top or bottom) would look pretty.

Beautiful quilt. I think it would be pretty to stitch inside each chevron 1/4". Just my suggestion as I don't hand quilt but just thought that would look nice.
