    You'll have as many opinions as you have tastes. Some of us aren't into all the fancy quilting and for some you just can't do too much quilting. Go with what you like and you can't go wrong. It's s really nice quilt, your son must have inherited his taste.

    I think I would do the cross hatch quilting on it. It is beautiful & the cross hatch wouldn't take away from its beauty.

    I vote for a simple all over quilting rather than stitch in ditch. The fabrics are gorgeous and a more curvy stitching would enhance the quilt - IMHO.

    It's beautiful. Personally I like to do cross hatching through the squares - corner to corner, just sew through the squares corner to corner in both directions.

    Depends on how big those squares are and what the suggested distance to quilt is for the batting you use. You may need to do more than stitch in the ditch to keep the batting stable when it is washed
