Quilting suggestions, please?

Just finished this Connecting Threads quilt for my daughter's new apartment. Don't have the funds to have it longarmed, so I need to quilt it on my home machine. I'm not a free motion wizard by a long shot--more in the kindergarten stage. I've done lots of straight-line and STID quilting. Any suggestions on how I could quilt this? I don't have a clue!

Love that top!
Do you have any decorative stitches on your machine? I have used those instead of SID.
I would be a little cautious with this design and straight stitching - I would want to keep with the weaving effect, so would only do straight stitching down the orange stripes.
The white squares are calling out for some interest - hearts, flowers, geckos, dragonflies? If you cut out a shape on freezer paper, draw around it with a disappearing or washable marker, that can give you something to 'follow' when quilting - sometimes it's intimidating to have that blank space to fill :)
God luck, enjoy!
