I would practice a new design on the entire thing in white, or pastel thread, so as not to overpower the white. The bold colors of the strings will mask any oopses and you'll be more confident with the design when you're done. I look at each quilting project as a snapshot of what I"m capable of at the time. If I don't stretch myself, I'll never get better.

My first thought was a nice easy meander. Your white X's will still show up just fine. Since your intent is for this piece to be a utility quilt, let it be simple and stunning. Another other option could be a diagonal cross hatch. White/cream/gray thread would be just fine. It will blend in easily with all of your glorious colors.

I am far from expert, but maybe meander just the coloured parts leaving the white unquilted (or ditched), technically this should enhance the white elements. It is a lot of messing about though.
