Glad you are enjoying the process. That's what it's all about. Now, not familiar with the pattern you've mentioned. I, too, will do 'echo' quilting and avoid seams if possible. However, if there is also a large enough area for any other design, I'll do that as well. Like to 'showcase' my quilting if possible. If you have a JoAnn's near you, take a look at some of the stencils there. Or your LQS - mine doesn't carry many. Some quilt shows have a pretty good selection of stencils as well. Look at the individual elements in the stencil and see if they can be utilized either the entire stencil or just parts of it in some of your blocks. Cross hatching is sort of large x's all over your quilt or within a block.
