SIL Quilt top using border fabric with vineyard appeal

When I saw this fabric I knew it would be perfect for my brother and SIL who appreciate fine wines. I just finished sewing the top and and am now thinking up ideas for quilt designs, any suggestions? I used a pattern free called "Antique Rose" from www.lecien.co.jp/en/hobby Thanks for looking

Leah Day does a small filler design of a bunch of grapes. I'm sure if you watch the video, you could just make it bigger. It'd be kind of an all over meander only in grapes.

Wine is my beverage of choice, after water, so I love this quilt! I'm not good at picking quilting designs but I like Lisa's idea!

Really fantastic! The boarder blends so well with the pieced center. I'm more of a design as you go quilter but the shapes in the boarders sure jumpout at me. Those swirls with the leafs and grapes would sure make a beautiful overall design for the center.
