Quilting Advice Needed!!

I am trying to clean off my sewing room tables, so need to get some UFO's that are laying around on them completed. I bought this fusible garden gate over a year ago.




I used my stash and fussy cut 3" squares and created a meandering garden walk with different sections of flowers and colors. After fusing the black garden gate over the pieced top, I never got any further! I couldn't decide how to quilt it. Do I quilt the edges around the black fused part? That will take FOREVER! But , I could certainly do that. I could also quilt OVER the black fused part...like do a meandering ivy vine? Then do different looking flowers in the rest of the flower sections...

What would you do? What color thread would you use? I'd appreciate it if you would please leave me a comment and give me your suggestions.
