Pretty quilt, but you are right it is busy and no quilting will really show so I would do an end to end, like a pantograph. If doing yourself on a domestic it all depends what your confidence levels are. An all over meander is always super easy. So is an all over grid (cross hatch, diamonds, etc) and can be done with a walking foot. IMHO you can never go wrong with the Baptist Fan design. It seems to play nicely with just about any quilt and always looks good.

Quilting design is always my stumbling block. Much less handwork! So more power to you.
I like the idea of some sort of rose/flower in each block, maybe a diamond lattice in the sashing to echo that diamond shape in the middle of the block.
It is going to be largely lost but if you know to look for it, you will see it. I'd probably use a golden to camel to jute color thread.

The backing is the same blue floral as the sashing and border. I haven't thought about tread color yet. The camel to jute color Iceblossom suggested sounds interesting though.
