Hi Christina and welcome to the board. I love the big stitch quilting that Maurine posted in the 2nd picture and you will avoid the seams that way for sure. But the beauty of big stitch is you can still go with the Baptist fan design (at least that is what I believe you are describing when you mention the quarters of a circle) and manage to avoid most of them or power through them when you take the occasional stitch that catches a lot of seam allowance. Baptist fan is such a timeless design and I have never seen a quilt that didn't look great when done with it. If you do big stitch you can also avoid many seams with the stitches.
