It's a gorgeous quilt with beautiful color placement. No quilting suggestions though.

The easiest kind of quilting for a beginner is to do an allover quilting design such as meandering or stippling. Check out Leah Day's website for instructional videos.

IMO it doesn't need a lot of decorative quilting. I would SID to enhance the shapes.
You can do some outline quilting with the walking foot in certain areas to enhance the shapes.
I would not make other suggestions if you have not done free motion quilting. Large shape ares do lend themselves to long curved walking foot quilting
