Indeed. Sizing on flop could be more. 1/4 pot seems really small on a wet board like this. I would make it around half pot.

Just check flop with Qc. If cbetting I would probably triple barrel bluff then on this runout.

can u describe your thoughts why 3ple barrel 
Problem with cbet is that you don't usually get better to fold or much worse to call. So if I did cbet and we now have hand with very little showdown value but blocker to nuts and decent amount of nut outs. So hand seems pretty viable semibluff hand. Cbetting whole range is viable strategy in this spot but this hand is perhaps one that gets least from that strategy.
Also from strong hands we still have AK, AA and KK that villain is not going to have. Also QQ block AQ from villain which is relevant. Sure he will have more flush combos so I wouldn't go for huge sizing. But with UTG range we can put lot of pressure to his wider range. When we use very small cbet size villain usually continue any Ax, Kx, 7x, maybe some pockets and gutshots. Though QQ will block gutshots good amount. But if we bet e.g. 2/3 on turn and river villain will be in tough spot with any single pair hand if he is not calling machine.
From hand range view you can also ask what are our bluffing hands if this is not one? Do we have QJo or QTo type hands? Probably not. Do we want to use QdJd type hand? Not very tempting. Ax or Kx I wouldn't want to turn into bluff.
