I usually try to coordinate a print backing with the front pattern. When I saw your block, I thought "small circles" would work. Here's one I found in a google search to illustrate what I mean:

For the quilting of the dresdens, how about a spiral that starts in the center and radiates all the way out to the edge of the plate?

I agree to stitch 1/4 inch inside of each blade, I would crosshatch the background and in the center pink block, I would quilt a flower, there are a lot of stencil, that you could use.

If you type Dresden plate quilts in your search line from Internet Explorer you will get a display of many quilts with many designs. Some of them are feathers, one is 1/4 inch in from sections and then feathers done in the white spaces. Lots of inspiration there.. Hope you like it.
