I can't think of any reason you couldn't use any quilting pattern out there when hand-stitching.
For me, consideration of patterns works the other way 'round. The sewing machines in my price range have such small areas to work in, machine quilting any intricate pattern, or anything larger than a crib quilt is a nightmare. The only way I can do it and come out with a finished quilt I can be proud of is to use one of the various "quilt-as-you-construct" methods.
