I would quilt it in an overall pattern. I like to do wavy grids. I just gently wave the line back and forth using the walking foot. It doesn't matter which direction you do this, you can do it diagonally, or vertically/horizontally. I just use my little bar stitch guide in the back of the walking foot to make sure I space these lines fairly evenly. You can see some examples of this on my blog under the label "machine quilting". Click on the pictures to see details. This technique grids the top in a random fashion and it doesn't matter that the blocks are not aligned. I hope this makes sense. I love your civil war quilt, you are inspiring me to get back to work on my Dear Jane quilt, I have been stuck at fifty something blocks on it for years. I added you to my blog roll.
