suggestions for how to quilt hand-embroidered blocks?

Your mother has a talent! Those are stunning!!
To show off a center I prefer a star-burst design or a cross hatch rather than echo quilting. To me, echoing detracts from the design if more than a single or double echo.
Perhaps "frame" each one in a heart or diamond shape with star burst straight lines, then between each shape either cross-hatch, stiple, or some other simple filler that is more dense to make the shape with the embroidery pop out.

I appreciate your thoughts, y'all!

I would do echo quilting all the way to the sashing on these...no stippling mixed with echo. If you do 1/4" echos all the way out to the sashing, it will look like ripples on a pond. She does gorgeous work!
