the quilt on my machine right now has been done to this point with a combination of meander-ish stippling FMQ, some stipple-ish meandering FMQ, and some straight-line with walking foot. i am using my embroidery function to do the borders.

i get nearly all of my embroidery patterns from the embroidery library ( http://emblibrary.com/ )
the best selection i have found so far of single-run quilting motifs at reasonable prices.
i do have some double-run motifs but i get a lot more pin-dots on the back with those so i only use them if i can't find a suitable single-run.
most of their patterns would fit your hoops.

you might also want to check out Amelie Scott Designs.
she offers several collections of edge-to-edge quilting patterns.
i think i have the whole collection of collections.
reasonably priced given the number of patterns in each collection and all the size options.

i treated myself to a magnetic hoop.
very spendy, indeed, but - to me - worth every penny.
it is soooooo much easier to load the quilt sandwich.
also easier to get the sandwich taut without stretching it all out of shape.

the largest i've done using embroidery is a queen size.
not easy, but do-able.
