    Wonderful project! Your fabric selections are perfect.

    I can't offer ideas for quilting. I never have any good ones and always in up doing STD, cross hatching or meandering.

    I think nivosum is right - on both sides of the framing of the stained glass. Can't wait to see the final quilt!

    Thinking outside the box .... how about a large image, like the quilting is the stained glass design. Heavy black thread.

    To me, when I think stained glass I think Christian church so I'll list those suggestions first
    Large cross with ray's coming out diagonally
    Praying hands ... again with diagonal rays
    Jesus praying ... again with diagonal rays to the edges

    Non denominational designs
    Butterfly
    Vase of flowers
    large tree

    I recently finished a quilt that appears like stained glass as well. I intend to quilt it with a grey/silver/black variegated in a dripping water pattern. So it looks like stained glass window in the rain.
