It's obvious that the quilt is made up of square blocks - you don't need to reinforce that with the quilting.

Any pattern - whether it's circular or all over FMQ - anything would be better than a grid.

You didn't mention your FMQ comfort level.



You could SiTD around the circles - but not in the seam (if you're concerned about the accuracy), but echo in the circles.
It doesn't even have to be straight stitch - maybe you have a wavy stitch on your machine.
That could add some movement and texture.

It could be quilted with various fillers patterns in all the non-circle spaces, which would pop the circles out.
Or quilt the circle areas with motifs - I'm a sucker for spikey flowers.

There are a ton of possibilities.

Sorry, not a definitive answer to your question.
But skip the SiTD grid quilting. ;-)

I'm really loving the turq/brown color combo.

ooc, do you have the circular attachment for your sewing machine?
It's pretty cool.

The quilt is so beautiful! Are you quilting it by machine or hand?
