    Welcome to the board. I know it's not much of a suggestion, but I would just go with an edge to edge panto type quilt file. I would choose one of the medium colors used in the quilt for the thread. An all over won't pull your eye to a specific place on the quilt, preserving the piecing design.
    If you are thinking about doing each section individually, you would probably have to program a design to fill in the "L" shaped space.

    Welcome to the board. I agree, a photo makes it much easier to give advice especially with the colors of the fabrics used in the quilt. Most problems with posting photos is size of the picture.

    Welcome from Ontario, Canada. I might echo the pattern with concentric straight rows of stitching about every 1/2 to 3/4 inches. It would add a lot of texture and reinforce the pattern.
