Since I do QAYG - a large quilt wouldn't exist. I just like the looks of the motifs, and also like Sashiko. I've been tracing patterns I have on cheap muslin and playing with staying on the lines. It ain't easy. I've got a quilt going now - just figured out how to do the blocks - mostly straight, but one strip is crying out for connected ovals. I can do them with a regular machine, but turning and twisting the fabric is a pain. I did a wall hanging with a cabin - the roof was crying out for fish scales and I just didn't feel like trying it with a regular stitch. If I can get it into the computer, I can manipulate anything.
I also don't mind using backstitching. That used to be done. Or small stitches in place. You have knots and tie-offs if you machine embroider those stencils in the hoop.
Thanks
