Maybe a Baptist Fan pattern? I personally would prefer the quilting to have some curved-type of quilting to offset all those angles, but I am not a huge fan of all-over meandering. I am not very good about deciding the quilting pattern. I just tell my LA'er something vague like my statement above, and she makes it look good

Sue Heinz has some quilting designs that create a circular pattern about the blocks in the sashings. And then each block with a separate motif--either a different one each block or the same (more likely what I would do) and probably just piano keys on the border--more maybe something swirly.

What a great quilt! If I cut that many pieces individually and tried to sew them together, nothing would match up. You did a terrific job. I have enough trouble trying to figure out my own quilting designs, so I'm afraid I'm no help. I do like the idea of an all-over pattern, though.

Very pretty. I would just have a large overall panto or edge to edge pattern. Something that would not distract from the quilt pattern done in white thread. You may want to stay stitch the edges of the piano keys to keep the seams from pulling out (speaking from past experience).
