I am so glad you posted about this - I had one sewn through the block stage and forgotten about it in our move. Or rather, I thought I'd finished the top and was going to take it when I go to pick up my new-to-me longarm in a couple of weeks. Better to find out now rather than the night before that I need to finish assembling the top and find/cut a backing!

Neat quilt!
For the quilting, You could use the applique templates as a pattern to trace around in the open black spaces and then quilt them in a contrasting thread. Then using a thread that blends in, you could echo around the quilted motifs and maybe add an easy fill such as loops to fill in the background. For the the appliques in the colored areas you could echo around them at quarter inch intervals or do a combination of echoing and then background fill. That would be fairly easy to do and would get you some practice in managing spaces and a start on doing some quilted motifs in your negative spaces.
