What you can do is print out a picture of your quilt and use a overlay sheet of plastic to doodle in the designs. Then if you don't like that just take a new sheet and try again. I think once you begin doing this, it will become apparent to you which design you like best. You sometimes have to think of it as a whole cloth with designs on it ignoring the smaller seams.

I hope you will do a tutorial on those curves!

Unfortunately I cannot offer any advice on the quilting as I am often in the same situation. However, I wanted to tell you that your work is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure whatever you decide, the quilt will be outstanding.

It looks like a good one to hand quilt if you haven't done it before as it is small. And you could save it for when you are on the road, in a waiting room or just sitting at the couch. I would baste it with lots of pins and follow the designs about 1/8 inch in from the seams. Then maybe spirals in the plain areas. I am licking my chops. :) Its beautiful.
