    Its pretty busy so you probably aren't going to see very much on it.Maybe something like the baptist fan or some type of circles.

    Exactly what I thought. Follow the swirly design that is representing the water that is beige in color in the large blocks. When you get to a sea critter just follow the tan outline of that as well. It will look terrific and no marking needed!
    I do like this idea. The color that looks like beige is really a gold metallic. I love this fabric! Still thinking about the 9-patch. Maybe a different critter in each block as someone suggested. I realize it's busy and much if won't really be seen except by me. I'm probably overthinking it :)

    If your backing is less busy, then you might see a lot more of the quilting design. I think the suggestions above would look great, particularly if they show up well on the back! Good luck!
